Hello Friends and Family! Welcome to the first day of 2012. We’re so glad that you would make being with God a priority as we move forward from one year to the next. May you sense God today and be drawn closer to Him as we look at one more of the titles given to the baby, Jesus. This title is one that truly defines our allegiance and submission. It’s the term, “Lord.” It’s our prayer that each of us would take a step forward in our surrender to Jesus as our Lord, and the leader of our lives. As we move forward into a new year, I hope we will all spend time with God to ask Him about any new directions or purposes He wants to fulfill next year. If you are really a risk taker, ask Him to show you any area you’ve not yet surrendered fully to Him. Today is a good day for a “new start.” I know I need to make that kind of renewed commitment regularly.Make sure to stop by the Next Step Bookstore before you leave and look at the Pastor’s Picks I chose for this series. You can also find Bibles, music, or other spiritual growth tools there.Believing with you,Pastor Ron
