Sermon IntroductIon
In the beginning God created… (Genesis 1:1)
Two days into the new year and I wonder how many of us feel a nerveracking challenge and a wish for a do over? The opportunities of the new year that
require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel powerless
with anxiety of anticipating the hurdles that lay ahead of us.
God calls us today to stand before the Creator and embrace who He created us to
be. Through Christ, we can die to self and flourish in our altar ego. In dying to the
_
self-life, we discover an abundant life by depending on God, who provides much
more than we can imagine. By dying to our earthly ways, we exit the darkness
and enter into the light, and there is where we experience times of refreshing and
life to the full – in God’s presence!
