As we begin a new year together, we need to remember the Lord’s
faithfulness over the past years and reflect on His mercy extended
to us, and our families. Lamentations 3:22-23; It is of the Lord’s
mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not
– They are new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness! We surely
do not know what lies ahead in the new year, but we do know that
our Lord is in control of all things, and is able to care for His
children. Twenty-twenty was as unusual as any year I have
experienced in my lifetime; the Pandemic with so
many dying and many suffering, just reminds us of the unusual
times we live in. So many folks are living as though there were no
God, and expecting all things to somehow work out peacefully, but
the Lord sees the need of mankind, and is able to correct problems,
and consummate all things. It is truly of His mercies that we are
not consumed. We can see His faithfulness in providing our
salvation, our security, and our opportunity to serve Him. I would
like to challenge every one of us, as members and servants, to
accept the challenge to serve Him in 2021 as never before. We need
to love each other, we need te respect each other, pray for each
other, and just be the Christians we need to be. If we do this,
there will be no lack of leadership, finances, or consequences that
we will face, that the Lord will not see us
through. I want to encourage faithfulness on our behalf so that
the Lord will continue His blessings on us. There are so many
friends, family, and folks in our community that need the Lord. We
must reach out beyond ourselves and seek the salvation of others.
Jesus, himself, came to the world to seek, save, and satisfy us.
Let us be faithful to reach out to others, and give the truth to
them, as Jesus himself, would do if He were here. You can always
tell a growing church, by the way they enlist, and bring people in
to their church. Remember we were lost until someone brought the
Gospel to us!
Happy New Year,
the best year ever!
— Pastor Comer 1 Corinthians 15:58

It’s amazing how the year
has flown so fast. As we get closer to the end, we remember that
2020 has been one of the most difficult years. The global pandemic
has hit hard, and our only hope continues to be on Jesus. However,
December will remind us of the joyful event when Jesus was born to
provide salvation to every human being.
As the people of God, our faith in Him has been stronger than
ever, and we know that He has better things for us. The time that
we spent at home taught us to be closer to the Lord. Let us
persevere in our walk with Jesus and continue to proclaim the
gospel in every opportunity that we get. Pastor: Rev. Ernesto
Robledo, D. Min.
Es sorprendente como el año ha volado muy rapido. Al acercarnos
al fin, recordamos que el ano 2020 ha sido uno de los más
dificiles. La pendemia global nos ha pegado fuerte, y nuestro
unica
esperanza continua en Jesús. Sin embargo, Diciembre nos recuerda
del evento gozoso cuando Jesús nacío para proveer salvción para
todo ser humano.
Como el pueblo de Dios, nuestra fe en él ha sido mas fuerte que
nunca, y sabemos que el tiene cosas mejores para nosotros. El
tiempo que inveritmos en casa, nos enseñó a acercarnos al Señor.
Perseveremos en nuestro caminar con Jesús y continuar proclamando
el evangelio en cualquier oportunidad que tengamos. Pastor: Rev.
Ernesto Robledo, D. Min.

New Years is upon us and that means 2020 is coming to a close.
Most of us are pretty excited about the most confusing and
unsettling year being put in the past. This year was something that
no one could have predicted despite it being 2020. Praise God that
our hope is not found in something that is earthly. Our hope rest
in something that is not of this
earth. As we have just celebrated the coming of an earthly King,
we know that this King is not dead but rather he is ruling and
reigning on High.
As I reflect on this past year, I see that God has seen me
through it all. He has sovereignly and graciously given me a wife.
He has continued to give me an education. He continues to let me be
a part of a loving church. He has given me the ministry of the
Gospel. And the fact remains that God was in charge of all this.
The gracious truth about this can be found in multiple scriptures.
I will give you two to read and process on your own. Jeremiah 1:12
& Ezekiel 12:25.
I will leave you with a quote from my favorite author. “God
doesn’t just predict; he does what he predicts.” – John Piper.

Greetings and Happy New Year from the Choir loft! It is our hope
that you will have a blessed New Year as we usher in 2021. As we
approach this new year, we need to remember to be thankful in
everything, in all situations we may face, not just when times are
going well. “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
-Psalm 100:4 If we find ourselves worrying about finances, a
relationship, finding a job, or any other circumstance, we still
have to thank God for what He promises, who He is and what He has
done for us! We need to be
grateful because He has been so faithful in our lives. This
month’s song comes from Carol Cymbala, Director of the Brooklyn
Tabernacle Choir. Let this song remind us to be thankful because of
His faithfulness. “Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.” – Psalm
119:90
He’s Been Faithful by Carol Cymbala and the Brooklyn Tabernacle
Choir
In my own suffering Through every pain every tear There's a God
who's been faithful to me When my strength was all gone When my
heart had no song Still in love He's proved faithful to me Every
word He's promised is true What I thought was impossible I've seen
my God do
He's been faithful, faithful to me Looking back He's love and
mercy I see Though in my heart I have questioned And failed to
believe He's been faithful, faithful to me When my heart looked
away The many times I could not pray Still my God was faithful to
me The days are spent so selfishly Reaching out for what pleased me
Even then God was faithful to me Every time I come back to Him He
is waiting for open arms And I see once again
