Message from Pastor Reid

Happy New Year!!
I pray Gods richest blessings on you as we enter a new year at Faith Christian Church. We are celebrating the faithfulness of our Lord throughout the previous year. Now we are celebrating the promise of our Lord as we turn the page into 2014. The promise of blessing awaits our embrace. I am confident our best days are on the horizon. We are born to be blessed! It is my prayer Gods call on us as individuals, and as a congregation, will be realized to a greater degree. The blessings of God are always coming down. But as we realize and acknowledge them, life gets really good. We then transition from not only receiving blessings, but also passing them along to others! When the blessings are shared with others, Gods kingdom is advanced hearts are touched and lives are changed! The heart of blessing comes from knowing Christ has been resurrected from the grave. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade kept in heaven for us. (1 Peter 1:3-4) Lets enter this new year with a full awareness of the blessings of God. Lets position ourselves to receive the blessings and pass them along to others. God is smiling and favoring all who are living life knowing we are born to be blessed. Pastor Reid
