2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Today as we prepare to close out our 2009 year, make sure we are a new creation in Christ.  If you have not grabbed a hold of who Christ is, take time to receive Him today.  Close out that old self, 2009 is behind us.  Nothing we can do to change, what we can do is look forward to the year 2010 as a new creation.  Those old things are gone and everything is new going forward.

The best example I think of as it relates to the power of God know you have grabbed Him, think of 220 volts of electricity.  Grab that 220 volts you will know it.  God’s power is bigger then that 220 volts.  Grab Him today, feel His power and be changed, completely a new creation as you go into the 2010 year.  A new creation with all the old ways, all the old days, gone and with Christ everything is different.  Start with a new attitude about serving Him, giving Him your time, talent and treasures.  Giving with a new can do attitude because of His power.  Have a desire in your heart to be in church, growing taking that step from wherever you may be in your spiritual walk.  Maybe you are still in the community seeking a church, find one, right here at Open Door Community Church, come step from the community and begin a journey with this church crowd, as you do all of sudden you will step up and continue your journey as part of the church congregation, learning and studying and growing ready to step in and become committed to a ministry serving the Lord Jesus Christ.  It is here like many you will want to step into a new part of your spiritual journey and take your final step into the ministry of the church core, ready to go out into the community and encourage others to come into the church 2010 and become a new creation in Christ.

Happy New Year Community, you in the crowd, the ODCC Congregation, ODCC committed, and the Open Door Community Church Core, let’s go, Matthew 28:19.

Happy New Year to all it is a new year be a new creation in Christ, you will never be the same in Jesus name amen.
