Empowered for the Year Ahead

Message

As we step into the new year, the Holy Spirit is our divine companion who empowers, guides, comforts, and leads us into God’s plans and purposes

The new year brings both opportunities and challenges, but we are not called to face them in our own strength. The Holy Spirit empowers us with divine strength, wisdom, and courage to fulfill God’s purposes for our lives. Jesus told His disciples to wait for the Spirit’s power before stepping into their mission, knowing they would need His supernatural ability.

This same Spirit empowers us to overcome obstacles, serve others, and live boldly for Christ. As we step into this year, we can rely on His power to carry us through moments of weakness and to equip us for every good work.

Scripture Reading

Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
