It's exciting to stand on the threshold of an entirely NEW YEAR! Yay! It means a fresh start - new adventures, challenges and opportunities! Many people make Resolutions or set goals for the year ahead ... do you have any? Most often resolutions are about diet and exercise for some kind of personal development. So as you consider the year ahead - what will you become? Where might faith and God fit in?
Ever wonder what God might want for you this year? Many people answer that question with "He wants me to stay out of trouble or not make the same mistakes as last year" ... and while there's a bit of truth to those statements - they aren't really at the top of God's desires for you.
That kind of approach to faith - is really just religion and it dumbs Christianity down into behaviour modification instead of a dynamic relationship with our creator! For the next two Sunday's we're going to engage in a conversation about what God has already been doing in you and how His desire isn't to keep you from something but to complete something in you!
