Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
The New Year is traditionally a time of looking both backwards and forwards. We look back to all that the last year brought, and we look forward in anticipation to what the new year will bring!
Its a great time for spiritual introspection, too. What did I accomplish of eternal significance last year? What do I need to do differently this year? What would God like to see happen in my life?
There are some very special prayer requests that I will be making as I intercede for my flock this year. I am praying for myself and for my people that:
1. God's healing mercy and grace will be poured out on hurting people. Last year was a hard year for so many, physically, economically, emotionally, and relationally. I'm praying for you!
2. We will have a new beginning of obedience to God's Word. "What does the Bible say" should be our watch cry!
3. That we will have a new brokenness and conviction about sin. Even good Christians allow certain sins to make themselves at home in our hearts and lives. Its time to "plow up our fallow ground" and seek the Lord!
4. That we will rally to the binding mandate given to us by our Lord.. The Great Commission!
5. That we will see lost people saved, both from inside and outside the church.
May God's richest blessings be yours in 2011!
Love in Jesus,
Your Pastor
Hosea 10:12 (NKJV)
Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.
Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV)
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
