I hope you are doing well as we begin 2026! My prayer as we begin this new year is that we will keep our focus on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is worthy of all of our praise and
worship. We have just celebrated His birthday, but let us celebrate His life, death and resurrection all year long. He came to us and died on the cross so that we could have the gift
of eternal life, if we repent of our sins and ask Him to come into our heart as our personal Lord and Savior. As we seek to keep our focus on Jesus Christ, let us realize that Satan will
do his best to get us sidetracked. But, if we seek the will of God to be done in our lives and in His church, we can remain faithful to Him in all we say and in all we do. As First Corinthians 10:31 says, "So whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." As we serve the Lord at home, church, school, or wherever we find ourselves, let us do everything we do for His glory. God loves you and He demonstrated that love to you in sending His Son to die on the cross, rise from the grave and go into Heaven to prepare a place for each one who receives Him as their personal Lord and Savior and loves Him. Let us demonstrate our love to God by being obedient to Him as we live in 2026. God promised that He would never place on us more than we can bear if we will keep our eyes upon Him. So, let us keep our eyes, our focus on Him and strive to live in the center of His will. I hope each one of you will commit to be in worship and in service to our Lord with all you are and all you have. Pray that God's will be done. Always remember that if you need to talk with
someone, as God's under shepherd, I will strive to be here for you. God loves you and so do I. As the loving congregation of God, let's keep the first thing first, Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
Pastor Peter Suhn
