Pastor Steve’s Blog December 30, 2018 Well, we are finishing up another year of life. One more year in the books, so to speak. These milestone times are the times we can reflect back on all the things that have happened over this past year… both good and some not so good. It is also a time to remember that no matter what we went through this past year, God was always there with us, never leaving or forsaking us. God is a good God. He does not leave us as orphans. He loves us more than we will ever know and God expresses His love to us through His Son, Jesus Christ, and through the personal presence of the Holy Spirit. He gives us the strength and courage we need to always move forward so that we might continue to grow into Christ’s likeness. With these thoughts in mind, let me ask you the following questions. Take a few moments and reflect on each of these. What blessings did God bestowed upon you in 2018? In what ways did God help you when you needed it most? When did you feel the Holy Spirit’s presence most strongly?
