Happy New Year! For me, starting a new year is an opportunity to embrace new goals. I am always happy with fresh starts. Many people include the goal of more active participation in church life as a new year’s resolution. January is therefore a very important time to extend hospitality to everyone who crosses our path here at Grace. We need every member of Grace to be intentional about meeting new people and welcoming them into the worshipping community. It is helpful to think of our church as a perpetual new church start. God is always at work, growing the kingdom!
This Sunday, January 6, the message will focus on the meaning and significance of sin. This is a topic that we often avoid or misunderstand, yet it is critical to our faith. You may be surprised at what we discover as we explore the topic. The message title is “Simply Sinful.”
In the coming weeks, I am planning a sermon series focusing on the parables of Jesus. The parables offer insights that reveal the heart of the gospel message.
I covet your prayers as we work together in serving the Merritt Island community in 2019. Remember, together we are the hands and feet of Christ!
See you Sunday!
Pastor Steve
