Men's Sunday School Teacher: Dennis Porter
A NEW YEAR
As a kid growing up in the 1950’s and 60’s, the anticipation of the coming New Year was exciting and something to look forward to. Milestones were reached with each passing year of life. The older I get, this passage of time reflects the things done and the things that were not done and the things we will do tomorrow. The Word of God tells us “do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1
So, we say goodbye to 2024, a year of turmoil, war, economic disasters, natural disasters and political upheaval. The only difference between December 31 and January 1 is one minute. But 2025 brings new hope.
The New Year brings new life. The New Year brings excitement about the future and the New Year brings new commitments from people.
Oak Grove can start this New Year with hope, excitement and the calm assurance that God is in control. We can pray continuously, read, study and apply God’s Holy Word, and tell others what Jesus has done for you.
Sunday school is the place to be. Come, we have a place just for you.
As the proverb above suggests, we need to live each day as if it is our last day this side of heaven.
In Truth and Love,
Dennis
