Church of Christ at Gold Hill Road- January 13, 2019

January 13, 2019

Opportunities in 2019

Opportunities to grow spiritually abound in 2019 at Gold Hill Road. The Elders have sanctioned many events and seminars to aid us in our walk with God. We can only fault ourselves if we do not participate or take advantage of the many ways in which we can grow closer to God, one another, and increase our service and dedication to Jesus Christ.

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,  so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:9-12).

Let’s commit ourselves and our families to be active and involved in the many good works we have before us.  May we serve and live each day with a peaceful and loving disposition.
