My Pentecostal Experience For new church experience, I went to a Pentecostal church. The Pentecost has always been something that I heard of, but never experience it for myself. I decided to go to experience it for myself and because I had a friend who invited me to go with him to his church. His name is Kyle. The experience was something that was different and I’m glad I experience it, because it help me to grow stronger in my faith. I attended a Pentecostal church in Katy, Texas.

The sermon was about living stress free. The pastor emphasized that God did not say that the world is not a stressful place, but that God would enable us to live in a way that thing would not affect us. The main idea for this is to trust in the lord. Instead of worry about things that could potentially be a problem, we should trust that the lord will provide for us. The sermon was something that I needed to hear, because I stress a lot over thing that are easily solved by the lord. Being said the sermon portion was good to hear and made my experience
