Message from the Pastor
Announcing: 2025 Ministry Theme
2025 Ministry Theme: “Hold on”
Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. “
Hold on
Yes, “hold on” is the theme for this New Year we have embarked upon. But not in the way it might seem. Often when we hear the phrase “hold on”, it’s used to mean bracing for something bad and or destructive, and though that certainly could be the case. We have all had to “hold on” when life storms rocked our world. But this version on “hold on”, I feel is different, and though the wind has picked up, and our world has grown darker and more unstable for sure, I sense this is to be the church’s finest hour. The real church, the one governed by the Lord is to be front and center of last days events. Before our exit via the rapture, the true church of Jesus Christ will be the lighthouse and powerhouse it was destined to be and has been at times since the coming of the Holy Spirit. There is fresh wind blowing and a renewed sense of urgency filtering through the body of Christ. I believe this year will reveal the church’s importance again and prove to the world that Jesus is Lord. He is alive and very much in charge.
Happy New Year Blessings,
PK
