Words To Remember - "The Year 2015"

This is a year and season of Restoration. 

I Peter 5:10 says, "And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you." (NRSV).  We believe that God is working restoration in the lives and hearts of His people by His Spirit, in Jesus' name!

Words To Remember - "The Year 2014"

We believe this year is a year of the FAITHFULNESS OF GOD.  That is, in this year, we believe that the body of Christ will see and receive the faithfulness of God in a better way.  For it is not that God becomes more faithful, more loving, more gracious, etc... because He is perfect in all of His ways; but rather we see and receive His faithfulness, love, grace in a better way.

Our key scripture for this year is I Corinthians 10:13, which says:  "No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone.  God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it." (NRSV).

Now, in this year being a year of seeing and receiving the faithfulness of God in a better way, we must understand that it will also be a time of testing/temptation.  For faithfulness is not really seen unless it is tried.  But in the test, God is faithful, in that He will not allow us to be tested beyond our strength or what we are able to bear, but with the testing/temptation make a way of escape so that we can bear up in it.

Let us be encouraged in this year, for our God is faithful, and by His grace, we will see and receive His faithfulness in a better way.
