GREETING FROM NORTH AMERICA
GENERAL PRESBYTER
GREETING FROM PRESIDING
BISHOP OF TENNESSEE
1 Samuel 17:2-9
Blessed greetings to all,
The Church of God of Prophecy has certain distinctives which we
hold dear; one of which, is our sense of “family.” Throughout this
convention, many will share a meal with friends. Talk and laughter
will be heard in the hallways. Voices will be united in prayer, worship
and song. You will feast on the Word, talk of all His wondrous works
and learn from one another. Vision and priorities will be shared and
the business of the Church will be enriched by joint participation
so that at the conclusion of this time together, you will leave
encouraged, energized, and focused on a common cause.
The one thing that will set this convention apart from other
gatherings will be those unrehearsed, unscripted, undeniable
breakthroughs of the Holy Spirit. I am confident that God has a fresh
Word, a transforming touch and a compelling challenge waiting
just for you.
As you lift your voices in praise to God, consider it a precursor
to a future gathering in which ten thousand times ten thousand,
and thousands of thousands from every kindred, and tongue, and
people, and nation will be saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and
strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing (Revelation 5:9-12).
It is with great joy that we welcome you to the 2015 Tennessee
State Convention. There has been a certain sense of excitement
about the convention returning to Cleveland, the site of so many
conventions over the last 100 years. Our state staff has worked
diligently to prepare a balanced program that will minister to the
needs of the whole family.
During a time of intensive intercession I believe the Lord gave me
the theme for this year’s gathering. “Is there not a cause?” This
question was first asked by a shepherd boy who became indignant
at the thought that no one would respond to the threats and
mockery of a pagan philistine directed against God’s people. In this
shepherd boy’s mind, an attack against God’s people was an attack
towards God as well. In his mind there was a cause greater than the
fear in the people’s hearts.
Without a doubt, we are living in the last days. We are living in a
time that tries men’s souls. It seems as if the world is upside down
and the church in many instances is not much better. However, is
there not a cause? Is there not something greater than all of us?
I contend that there is a cause, and hopefully we will discover it and
embrace it during these next few days.
Serving together,
God bless you.
Tim Coalter
North America General Presbyter
EC McKinley
