We invite you to join us and catch a glimpse of why we are the church where Christ is the center. We are proud to be a beacon light in the Great Fifth Ward community of Houston, Texas.

Wishing All A Very Prosperous New Year

As Christians, we understand that our words embody our intentions and help shape how we approach the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The Bible teaches that our words have the power of life and death. Our words can have a positive or negative impact. Our words can uplift and inspire, and we will be held accountable for them.

Let’s explore how we can use our words of wisdom to anchor our resolutions and to shine a light on the path ahead.

As the calendar flips to a new year, we have the chance to pause and reflect on our lives. Let’s not get stuck on ruminating on past failures. That’s a rabbit hole we don’t want to go down. Instead, let’s assess our past actions and set goals for the months ahead. 

The new year is the perfect time to reset and turn to the wisdom of God’s words as our tried-and-true compass for navigating change.  Hope and renewal are cornerstones in Christian teachings, essential themes as we step into the New Year. In our faith, we see each new year not just as a change in the calendar but as an opportunity for a fresh start, a time to renew our commitment to God and to grow in our spiritual walk. 

As you reflect, acknowledge the growth you’ve experienced and the challenges you’ve overcome. Now, with a heart full of anticipation, look toward the horizon of the upcoming year. Allow your faith to be the foundation of a hopeful outlook, understanding that through God’s guidance, each day presents a chance to live out His will and purpose for your life.

My prayer is for each of you to have a prosperous New Year.
