A New Year’s Prayer For You and Me!
Let us pray… Lord God, Heavenly Father, You have created us for a life of eternity! Forgive us the sins of the past, and breathe into us the Spirit of Your Son that we may serve You in this new year. At the beginning of this new year, pour into our hearts the rich measure of Your grace, that we may fill the moments of the new year with enduring qualities of your Kingdom. Remind us that You placed Your Son under the Law to fulfill all righteousness FOR US. Thank you Jesus! Make us now by faith and trust, your obedient children. During this new year, may we find the courage to begin again because You, Lord, are our beginning and our end. Our hope for today and the future is in You. In You, this year and all things are made new because we are forgiven. For Jesus sake, help us to live for You and those you have placed in our lives. Amen!
Sincerely, Pastor Lee
Here’s what coming in terms of our January focus as we follow Jesus, our Lord and Savior and receive His gifts. We are going to talk about what it means to seek FIRST, God’s Kingdom. We are also going to spend some time allowing God’s Word to re-shape and transform our lives – the little actions and the big ones make a difference! I’m praying for our gracious Lord to lead and guide us in each step of faith we take this new year.
January 5 First!
What kind of year would you like to have in 2020? What kind of year was last year for you spiritually? Spiritually Apathetic. Spiritually Inconsistent. Or Spiritually Consumed? However last year went, join us as we focus on keeping "first things first" God's way by His grace and strength. "But seek first [God’s] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33
January 12 Who Before Do! (Habits Week 1)
Which is more difficult for you: making a habit or breaking a habit? Why do you think that is? Thankfully we are not alone in this. God is with us. Thankfully with God's help, we can always grow. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 NIV
January 19 Starting! (Habits Week 2)
Based on who you want to become, what’s one habit you want to start? Do you think God cares about the "small" choices we make in life (good or bad?)? Let's look at what it means to get into a good routine and how we can encourage each other in those new beginnings.
January 26 Stopping! (Habits Week 3)
Based on who you want to become, what habit do you want to break? Look down the road. Where could you end up if you don’t break a bad habit? "So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. James 1:21 (GNB)
