To begin the new year Pastor Mark shares 7 practical ways to help embrace the new.

As we enter a new year we look at the clean slate.  For some it looks scary knowing what is ahead. For some it looks like great possibilities.  And for others they are still reeling from the past year and are having trouble looking ahead at all.  But in all of these, we must know that there is hope, and not just hope but where that hope comes from.

When we lean into God and feel his love our fear can fade away.

It is not always easy to do but always a good reminder to first, choose love.

Sometimes we look at big names in the Bible and think they had no flaws.  That God chose them because they did it all right.  But that is not the case in the Bible.  Many of our heroes have made big mistakes and yet God uses them anyway and He is there with them through it all.

You are holy and precious to God.  He will not discard you.  He will come beside you and uphold you with his mighty right hand.

As a follow up to the Human Trafficking conference held at Trinity the day before, Jim Foster of International Justice Mission shares moving stories as well as how we can help with a very difficult and important issue.

In conclusion: God is God and we are not.  Pastor Stuart uses Ecclesiastes to help unpack that.

God did not create us to do everything ourselves.  He created us to be in community with one another and to learn to lean on each other.  When live get's hard it's good to remember that we are better together.

One of the most well known scriptures in Ecclesiastes says that everything has it's time under heaven.  But where is it you focus your time?
