WELCOME 2023 “EVANGELISM YEAR”
Today we are called to experience a breakthrough in serving the Lord Jesus and to develop our impressive spiritual growth. We step forward, gain a deeper understanding of biblical truth and a victory of besetting sin. Year 2023 gives us many suitable times to be closer to Jesus Christ. Serving Him through our Evangelism go…..Living in Grace, growing in the finished work of Christ on the Cross and walking a new life with the Holy Spirit. This is Faith. A gift of God called Grace. Jesus said, “If you continue with My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine. You will know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free (John 8:31-32), “freedom from the anger of God against sin.” Paul's experience on the Damascus Road could be considered a spiritual breakthrough as he saw for the first time who Jesus Christ really is. (Acts 9). Today it shows the Faith of Christ in us, is the Grace of God. Peter’s experience on the rooftop in Joppa could be considered a spiritual breakthrough as he learned that the Gospel was for all people, Gentiles included. (Acts 10). The Gentiles are given salvation through Grace. A new covenant from Christ. The conversion of Lydia on the outskirts of Philippi could be seen as a spiritual breakthrough as she was the first person saved on European soil. (Acts 16). Showing us today that God is not prejudicial of any person. All are equal in Christ and will be judged in and by Christ. We can give voice to “breakthrough” as a preceding struggle that finally peaks and finds resolution. Christ as the Resolution. An experience that reaches a new level of spirituality whatever that means to the person who is “breaking through.” It will depend on the person and the religion in question. Year 2023 is the Faith of Christ Church “breakthrough.” We will serve the Lord Jesus more in a sincere and sensitive way. To show who you are in Christ. LikeApostle Paul when he declared, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me”. (1Cor 15:10) In the name of Jesus with His Faith in us, all will spread the Gospel to the whole world. Put this in your heart and soul. A lot of blessings are given. Let’s move on without looking back. Hand in hand in the name of Jesus. Be blessed FCC Year 2023, In Christ, Pastor Edpaul
