Hi Church

Spring is in the air!! And everywhere the evidence of new life reminds us that after every winter season will surely come the spring. It’s like that in our lives too – and also in the life of our church. Perhaps you have been in a winter season and have been wondering what the future holds. Our human nature often causes us to dwell on the past – to hold onto past hurts; to nurse our regrets; to rehearse our mistakes; to worry about things we cannot change. However, this is such futile thinking, for we can do nothing about the past. Rather, we can each be the author of our future, by writing a new script for our lives. Be encouraged by what God says:
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honour me…because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.”  [Isaiah 43: 19 – 21, TNIV]
We may not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future; and we can trust Him completely to carry on to completion the good work He began in us. He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith.
Grace, blessing and peace to you as you serve our great God with us,
