Message from the Pastor
2024 Ministry Theme: “Look Up”
Luke 21:28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
One of My Favorites
As we begin our journey with the Lord, we supernaturally hunger for God’s word. There is just no way around it. Our fervency for God can be compared to our hunger to know God’s word, what it says and how we can apply it. This past week, a brother of mine sent me a word of encouragement and it was Hebrews 10:23-25, one of my favorites. It says; 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. This passage has it all! It encourages us to contend for the faith as individuals who are running a race. It highlights our responsibility to encourage others to do the same, and it points us to the celebration we share together in holy fellowship that keeps us looking up. In essence, our need for God points us to each other and helps us realize the need we have for one another and cherished blessing it brings. Let’s go after Him today!
Blessings,
