January 8-28, 2023
The theme for January 21 Days of Prayer is “New Beginnings”:
“In the beginning God created…”
Genesis 1:1a
Often with the beginning of the year we think about New Beginnings but there is more than just a new year that is beginning. We see New Beginnings with the building of our additions at Christ the King, our establishment of Steele Creek Community Place, our outreach focus we see new beginnings all around us. In our family’s new years often bring new beginnings weddings, births, graduations, promotions, new teams, etc. New friendships will happen, new relationships, we see people being baptized, learning they are beautifully and wonderfully made by our creator God. We see newness around us if we only look.
Where does this newness come from? Is it under our own power, our own creative actions, our money, our efforts, or does it come from the God who created everything out of nothing! Before the universe there was nothing, a void and He created out of nothing. He does that with new life, he does that with ministries, he does that with our daily lives and salvation. He creates and holds together everything in his hands. As you focus, read, and pray about New Beginnings be reminded that creation is happening daily around us – God is breaking through creation and is building his Kingdom.
