New Year, New Beginnings: Embracing Hope and Purpose for God’s People

As the New Year dawns, we are called to reflect on our hopes, dreams, and the purpose set out for us by God. Inspired by biblical principles from Matthew and 1 Peter, we recognize our roles as the "salt of the earth" and "light of the world". We are encouraged to grow, stretch, and strengthen our faith and influence within our community, as outlined in Isaiah 54:2. This year, let's commit to being intentional in serving God, nurturing our gifts, and pursuing opportunities for breakthrough and creativity in all endeavors.
