2016…. A New Year with New Challenges and Wonderful opportunities!!………..
As we begin 2016, I have a sense of anticipation. God has wonderful things ahead for our church family. Be encouraged by the words of the Apostle Paul:
“If God be for us, who can be against us.?”
Romans 8:31
Is not that the Gospel Message? The GOOD News??? God is for us!! God loves us!! God will never give up on us!! (Read the whole chapter; Romans 8)
God has a plan for each of our lives and for Emmanuel Church. We need to seek His heart and move into 2016 with fervent Thanksgiving for all He has ahead!! Much love,
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NASV)
