Pastoral Calendar Covenant“The Vision” Pastor Marvin C. Gregory Sr.

Covenant Partners In the “Kingdom” • Scriptural Support:

Acts 4:32– And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul:

and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. (ASV)

• We all have one common goal; The advancement of the KINGDOM

• James 5:12– But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven,

nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

• Let’s honor each ministry to avoid lack in any part of the KINGDOM; Covenant requires integrity.

• Matthew 18:19 – Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching

anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

• The principles , when exercised, can not fail. Therefore if shepherds could come together with like-minded goals, the KINGDOM would expand swifter!
