A lot of times, especially as we head into a new year, we tend to not look back over the previous one. That’s usually because we don’t like to think about the struggles we’ve experienced or are still experiencing.
Join us as we look at Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians, where he encourages the believers in Thessalonica to live with an attitude of thankfulness even in the midst of our struggles.
This Sunday's message is from Genesis 9 and is entitled "A New Day and A Clear Vision."
After the flood, God blesses Noah and charges him to "Be fruitful and multiply and to fill the earth." That is the marching orders for the church. The wasteland of the world is meant to be transformed with the life-giving, life-transforming power of God.
Our purpose and calling are clear and God's commitment is unswerving. Let's pray that each of us has this kind of clarity giving hope and purpose to our lives in a world that is precious in the eyes of the Lord!
To follow Christ wherever He calls us to go and to do by faith whatever He has asked of us. The life of faith is an adventure. It will stretch us. It will challenge us. It will humble us. 2020 is a new territory for every person. God simply asks us one question: Will you trust Me wherever I lead you and whatever I ask of you? Just as the Bible begins with God calling Abraham to leave everything to follow Him to the land of the promise, we too, are called to follow Christ (Abraham’s seed) in order that the nations would be blessed.
