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,
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
