IT'S A NEW YEAR

Last week we looked at a number of Scriptures.  One that that we might re-visit is :
 Luke 2:10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” (NIV 1984)
 I would guess that the shepherds were petrified.  They were afraid of the angels, they were afraid of the directives to go and probably did not understand the peace that came over the animals in the presence of this newborn child.  Are we any different? 
This Sunday will be the first day of a brand new year.  It always evokes thoughts of the past and hopes or fears of the future.  It is a great time of reflection across the entire world.  Different peoples from every tribe nation and tongue will do the same on the potential of tomorrow.
 WFC has so much potential.  As we Gather, Grow and Go this year, what is your role?  How will you grow by taking next steps in your walk with Jesus?

This week read how Jesus sent out the 70  (or 72) in Luke 10:1-17. ( Maybe it was January 1st  when they were sent.)  No matter what day it was, it was a new day in their view of who Jesus was and is.  Let’s talk about that,  not with New Year’s resolutions, but with ears for the call that comes from the Lord.
