Preparing for New
As we stand on the cusp of a new year, it's a time of reflection and anticipation. The scripture from Joshua 1:1-5 offers a powerful narrative about embracing change, following divine direction, and stepping into new beginnings with faith and courage. Just as Joshua faced the monumental task of leading a people into uncharted territory after the passing of Moses, we too often stand at similar crossroads in our lives.
Joshua was urged to recognize the opportunity for a new day—a chance to lead in a manner that honored God’s promise. Our lives are filled with such opportunities daily. Embracing them begins with acknowledging that each day is a fresh chance to follow God’s will and purpose with renewed vigor and commitment.
Change is an inevitable part of life; it accompanies every new dawn. God’s instruction to Joshua was clear—be strong and courageous, for God was bringing about transformative change. Embracing the unknown can be daunting, but it is in these moments that we are invited to rely more deeply on God's promises and guidance. Just as Joshua was assured of God’s steadfast presence, we too can find comfort in knowing that we are never alone as we navigate life's uncertainties.
Direction is found in the promises God has laid before us. With clear vision and trust in His plan, we can move forward with confidence, knowing that God’s promises never falter. Joshua's journey reminds us to listen attentively for God’s voice, guiding our steps along the path laid out before us.
Our response to God’s call matters profoundly. Like Joshua, we are invited to act with faith and tenacity, knowing that our actions today shape the legacy we build. God’s call requires our active participation, courage, and trust, ensuring that we are fully committed to the journey ahead.
We invite you to join us for worship as we embark on this journey together. Experience the warmth and fellowship of our Classic service at 9am, or feel the energetic spirit of our Contemporary service at 10:30am. No matter which you choose, know that you have a place in our community as we step boldly into the new year with faith and hope. We look forward to worshiping with you and growing together in the love of Christ.
