As our church year begins to wind down, we look back at the last year and thank God for all He has done. We thank Him for the new people He has brought our way and made a member of our church family. We thank Him for all the opportunities to serve Him and one another. We look back and see how good God has been in our personal lives..the way He has caused us to grow. Many of us have grown through good times. God has prospered us and we are grateful! Many of us have grown through some very tough and challenging times in our personal lives. But those difficult times have been proving grounds and have given us opportunity to reaffirm in our own lives and families that God is always with us, especially in the times we need Him to lift us up and keep us safe and strong. The Word of God reminds us "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you". (Hebrews 13:5) He also reminds us "The Lord is my helper: I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Psalm 118:6,7) May we continue to look to God as the source of our hope and strength. God has blessed us tremendously in the past, but we look to Him for His guidance and direction for the future as well. Gulf Coast Family will continue to be a church that loves people and seeks to share the love of God with all. In order for us to do that, we must get out in our neighborhoods and the places we frequent and share God's love. It may be a cup of water to one who is thirsty, a meal for one who is hungry, clothing to one who has that need. But to all, we can give the hope that exists in Jesus Christ. Join me in proclaiming Christ as the one great hope and salvation of mankind! If you have not yet come to check out the Gulf Coast Family Church, please accept my invitation now and come experience a great time of worship and a wonderful church family. It will be like coming home. Hope to see YOU this Sunday! Pastor Dale "Seek first His Kingdom and His rightousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 |
