As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7.
Today is the last Sunday of the year. God, by His grace, has brought us to the close of another year, hallelujah! The next time we gather together to worship, prayerfully will be in the new year 2026.
The Theme: “A ministry that is faithful and fixed in 2026”. Since God has been faithful to His people, how many of us will remain faithful and fixed to God in 2026? Who will come to Christ because of your witness? How will God use you to help His people to grow in their relationship with Him and His church?
The apostle Paul writes to the church from a prison cell. The primary purpose for writing to the Colossians was to correct false teaching that was troubling the church. Every church has somethings that troubles the body of Christ, but faithful and mature believers are the people God uses to help discourage the advancement of false teachers.
Church, as we prepare to embark upon the new year, let us become more involved in the ministry of Winning more Souls to Christ. By being intentional in worship, witnessing, working and inviting others to hear the gospel message about Christ. Just as we have heard the voice of God through His man for salvation, allow others to hear Him so that they might be saved also. In the new year, let us start by doing our part by inviting some people to Sunday school and worship and then trust God to do His part in salvation.
Have a Blessed and Prosperous Happy New Year!
