God's Promise of Growth
Today we reflect on God’s promise of growth. God promises to be at work in our lives that we may grow spiritually, becoming more like Christ, for His glory and to be a blessing to others. But how does this come about? Today we look at spiritual growth, what it is and how God works it in our lives.
From Series: "New Year, Same Promises"
A new year means a new start. And because of that, many of us take up new commitments and resolutions to improve ourselves: diet, exercise, lifestyle, etc. Sometimes things actually change. Other times the change is only temporary. But despite changes that may come, we can rely on God’s promises to be the same. No matter how much our lives change, or this world changes, His promises do not. No matter what good or ill may be around the corner in the coming year, His promises can be counted on to be true and trustworthy through it. Our Epiphany Worship series, starting January 8, is entitled “New Year, Same Promises.” We will consider the enduring grace, mercy and blessing of God’s familiar promises and what they mean in the challenges and opportunities of the new year.
