Let’s dive into each Sunday’s message!

New Year’s Eve Service – December 31, 2024

Sermon Title: Move Forward – To Thrive in 2025
Scripture: Joshua 1:1-3, 9

As we crossed into the new year, God gave us the charge to move forward and thrive. Here’s how:

1st Sunday – January 5, 2025

Sermon Title: God Will Do the Impossible
Scripture: Mark 5:21-42

When you’re facing an impossible situation, God still has a plan. This message reminded us to:

  • Move toward the answer—don’t be afraid to seek God.
  • Believe—your faith activates the miraculous.
  • Re-evaluate your environment—surround yourself with people who encourage your faith, not your fears.

2nd Sunday – January 12, 2025

Sermon Title: It’s Not Too Late
Scripture: John 11:1-7 (The Story of Lazarus)

No situation is too far gone for God to turn around. Even when things feel dead and buried, it’s not too late for a breakthrough!

  • Don’t panic—God’s delays are not His denials; He has a plan.
  • Speak life—declare God’s promises over your circumstances.
  • Watch God show up and show out—He’s going to move in ways you didn’t expect!

3rd Sunday – January 19, 2025

Sermon Title: Launch Out into the Deep
Scripture: Luke 5:1-7

God calls us to step beyond what’s comfortable to experience new blessings.

  • Step out of your comfort zone—God honors faith-filled risks.
  • Be open to new opportunities—the blessings may not look like what you imagined.
  • Don’t give up—the miracle you need could be just one more effort away.

4th Sunday – January 26, 2025

Sermon Title: Let It Go & Embrace the New
Scripture: Isaiah 43:18-19

God wants to do a new thing in your life, but you can’t hold on to the past and grab the future at the same time.

  • Forget the past—release what’s no longer serving you.
  • Embrace the new—step into the opportunities God has prepared for you.
  • Trust that God is making a way—He’s creating paths in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Big Picture Takeaway: “Move, Believe, Thrive!”

This month’s messages challenged us to move forward, trust God for the impossible, and step into new opportunities. Remember, you were not created to stay stuck or settle for less.

Thrive in 2025 by letting go of the past, holding on to faith, and expecting God to show up in ways you’ve never seen before.

Keep going. Keep believing. Keep thriving. We’re in this together, and I’m praying you experience God’s best in every area of your life!

God loves you and so do I.
