Parkton Assembly Of God

Parkton Assembly Of God Parkton Assembly of God is "A Place For You". In 1954 Rev. Horridge rented the old union hall in Barnhart and started services there.

In 1955 God spoke to him and he decided to build a church. He bought one and half acres from Homer Price Real Estate Company and had the basement dug. This was made into a place of worship equipped with a few chairs, a Bible stand, and a piano. Antonia valley covers a radius of fifty-five square miles. The small drainage canal is the only outlet for all the rain that falls in the valley. In June,

1957 the heavy rains came! Glaize Creek got out of its banks and washed away everything in its path. One whole side of the basement was washed away. Brother Horridge was not discouraged. He immediately started to rebuild the basement. Many of the ministers in the area, members, and friends of the church rallied to the cause. In July 1957 the basement was back in order and services resumed. In July 1958 another flood came. This one did so much damage that they had to vacate. Ruby King lived across the road from the site, she opened her home and services were held there until the basement could be rebuilt. Brother Horridge's vision and his desire to obey the voice of the Lord never waned. He had a vision, he loved people, and he hada burden for the lost. So he began to work toward a church building. After flood number two and all the repairs were made, it was 1960. He secured a loan from his sister, Happy Bender, and started a building which became, "The Little White Church".

5-Day Bible Reading Plan and Devotional Guide Based on the Themes of the Blood of Christ, Prayer, and Kingdom Living Day 1: The Power of the Blood: Hebrews 9:22 — Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness; Ephesians 1:7 Redemption and forgiveness come through Christ's blood according to God's grace. The blood of Jesus is not a relic of ancient religion. It is the living, active force that stands between you and condemnation. Every wound you carry, every sin that has marked your record, every sickness that has pressed against your body — the blood of Jesus speaks to all of it. As the sermon reminded us, when God looks at a believer, He does not see a sinful person but a redeemed one. Take time today to thank God specifically for what the blood has covered in your life. Do not let familiarity rob you of gratitude for the most costly gift ever given.

Day 5: Run Toward the Battle

Reading: 1 Samuel 17:45-50 -- David declares to Goliath that he comes not with conventional weapons but in the name of the Lord of hosts. He runs toward the Philistine, releases his stone, and the giant falls. The most striking detail in the account of David and Goliath is not the stone or the sling. It is the fact that David ran toward the giant. Every other soldier in Israel had spent forty days running away. David ran forward. This is what faith in the living God produces when it is genuine and grounded -- not recklessness, but a holy boldness that refuses to let the enemy have the last word. David had settled the question of who his covenant partner was. He had refused to be intimidated by the size of the opposition. He had remembered what God had already done. And then he moved. Faith without action is incomplete. At some point, you must pick up your stone, plant your feet, and run toward what God has called you to face. You are not running alone. Jehovah Tzaba, the Lord your warrior, goes with you.

Day 4: Your History with God Is Your Ammunition: Romans 5:1-5 -- Paul describes how suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope -- a hope that does not disappoint, because God's love has been poured into our hearts by His Spirit. David did not walk into the Valley of Elah as an untested young man with no track record. He walked in as someone who had already seen God deliver him from a lion and a bear in the quiet fields while no one was watching. Those private victories became the foundation of his public faith. Romans 5 tells us that the same principle is woven into the fabric of the Christian life. The trials you have already walked through were not wasted. They were building something in you -- perseverance, character, and a hope that is anchored not in circumstances but in the proven faithfulness of God. Your history with God is not behind you. It is ammunition for the battle in front of you.

Day 3: Perspective Changes Everything: 2 Kings 6:15-17 -- Elisha's servant is terrified by the surrounding enemy army, but Elisha prays that the servant's eyes would be opened. The servant then sees the hills filled with horses and chariots of fire surrounding them. Two people can look at the exact same situation and see two completely different realities. The armies of Israel looked at Goliath and saw a giant too large to defeat. David looked at the same giant and saw a target too large to miss. The difference was not courage alone -- it was perspective rooted in covenant. David was not blind to the size of the problem. He simply refused to evaluate the problem apart from the presence and the power of God. The servant of Elisha was not wrong that the enemy was there. He was simply not yet seeing the full picture. God's resources surrounding you are always greater than the forces arrayed against you. The question is whether you are willing to ask God to open your eyes.

Day 2: The Name Above Every Giant: Psalm 20:1-9 -- The psalmist declares that some trust in chariots and horses, but the people of God trust in the name of the Lord their God, who answers in times of trouble and grants victory. David understood something that the armies of Israel standing in the Valley of Elah had forgotten. The name of God is not merely a title -- it is a declaration of His nature, His power, and His covenant commitment to His people. Jehovah Tzaba, the Lord of hosts, the Lord our warrior, is the name that David carried into the valley. The armies of Israel were counting their own weapons and measuring their own strength against Goliath. David was counting on a name. When you are facing a giant today -- whether it is a diagnosis, a broken relationship, a financial crisis, or a spiritual battle -- the question is not whether you are strong enough.

5-Day Bible Reading Plan and Devotional Guide
Victory in the Journey: Facing Giants with Faith
Day 1: Knowing Your Father: Matthew 6:9-13 -- Jesus lays out the model prayer, beginning with an address to God as Father in heaven, whose name is to be held as holy and set apart above all else. Before you can face any giant, you must first know who you belong to. Jesus did not begin His model prayer with a request or a complaint -- He began with identity. You are not an orphan approaching a distant authority. You are a child coming to a Father who loves you enough to have sent His Son to die in your place. When giants loom large, the enemy will whisper that God has forgotten you or that your failures have disqualified you from His help. That is a lie. Your standing before God is not based on your performance but on the blood of Jesus Christ. Begin every day by settling this truth in your heart: God is your Father, and you are His child. That relationship changes everything.

What giant are you facing today? This Sunday, we explored how David did not see Goliath the way everyone else did. While the armies of Israel ran in fear, David ran toward the battle, because he knew who his covenant partner was. The same God who delivered him from the lion and the bear would deliver him from the Philistine.

When you face overwhelming situations, remember: you are not facing them alone. David declared in 1 Samuel 17 that he came not with sword or spear, but in the name of the Lord of hosts, Jehovah Saba, the Lord our warrior. That same name belongs to you today.

You are a giant slayer. Do not let your giants cause you to forget who you are or whose you are. Join us next Sunday as we continue in our series, The Model Prayer.
