Sunday’s Message - Many of us (maybe 99.9999996%?) wish we could go back in time and change a decision or a series of decisions we have made. And it’s always for the same reason: we do not like the consequences of those decisions. What we hope for is a fresh start. And then we have New Years Day 2023. The pretend day of “resolutions” right? Even if you never make them, we hear about them. God is the God of the ultimate fresh start. That’s why Jesus came to us as a man. New Year’s Day 2023 would be a great day to focus on some of your life’s areas to get a Fresh Start.
