Signing Off From 2020

Dear Church,

We are approaching the last few hours of 2020. This year has been called the year of the Pandemic. Yes, we have been pressed from every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Cor 4:8-9). So, let us finish this year with a heart filled with gratitude, for the amazing way he led us. For the things we learned, for Christ life flowing in us when life started spinning wild, when fear set in, faith abounded. Praise God!

As we enter 2021, let us remember what Paul tells the church in Thessalonica “your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore, we do not need to say anything about it…”

(1 Thessalonians 1:8) Remember only YOU can share your unique life message. God wants you specifically to share your life message. Nobody else can do it for you. This year God is looking for you to do that. It is not that your life has to be perfect or able, God is looking for your availability not ability. Please don’t hide the light God lit in your life under a blanket. The most powerful messages come through our lives lived in union with Christ. God wants us to be his witnesses, are you ready for his call in 2021. If so, let’s walk this year together, united in Christ!

Blessings and Prayers, See you on New Year Sunday!

Your Friend and Pastor,

Mathews
