What I Learned This Week
For the last seven days, our church has held a prayer meeting every night in which we worshiped together, prayed together, confessed together, and rejoiced together. God moved in mighty and life-changing ways for many of us. As we gather on this Sunday morning, I want to share from my heart some of what God has been teaching and showing me over this past week. I trust it will intersect with what you have experienced and learned as well.
The Year of the Lord's Favor
As we begin this new year, let us consider our hopes and desires. What do we hope for in our relationships? Our spiritual lives? Our health and well-being? More importantly yet, what is it that we want God to do this year? In us and through us. As we begin this year, let us embrace a mission and a promise that Jesus sets forth in Luke 4:18-19 when he proclaims the pouring out of the spirit, good news for the poor, freedom for the captives, sight for the blind, and the year of the Lord’s favor.
