The year ahead will bring times of joy and also challenges. But who will you trust to help you in all of life's experiences? We can have a peace in trusting that God goes before us and will guide us in all circumstances this year. [Speaker: Barry]

In life, we go through many different seasons that we sometimes don't understand or have answers to. During these times, we can put our hope in our Creator who anchors our soul and promises to be our peace and rest. [Speaker: Barry]

Self preservation, life's most basic instinct, can often lead to many irrational responses and serious situations due to pride. But Jesus shows us a better way - if we want to really live, we need to lose our life to find it. This is the true essence of faith and freedom. [Speaker: Harb]

Psalm 100 teaches us to serve the Lord with gladness. God places a faith in us that enables us to lift up a heart of thankfulness and praise despite our circumstances. [Speaker: Barry]

God doesn't look at our appearance, but at the heart. He is most interested in building a genuine faith within us. At times, if need be, He will allow us to go through times of suffering in order to perfect our faith. [Speaker: Barry]

God calls us to love perfectly and serve faithfully. Understanding the bigger picture causes us to act out of a love for God and not out of compulsion. [Speaker: Barry]

When you have faith and love, by the spirit of God in you, you are able to refresh others and to encourage them in the ways of the Lord. [Speaker: Barry]

As fellow labourers, our faith is demonstrated in the way we live and love. If we love one another with the love of Christ, things like restoration, healing, forgiveness and mercy will flow from us. [Speaker: Barry]

How does your life affect the lives of other people? Be faithful to those around you that you may refresh and pour Christ into their lives. [Speaker: Barry]

Who we are and how we live must align with each other. We are called to live differently to the world as the faithful friends of Jesus. [Speaker: Barry]
