Pastor Ben Kingston shares his new year’s message to help us to prepare for evaluation and improvements in our walk with God.

I Nothing did, could, would, will ever stop your God from loving you.

II  Your obedience to God’s plans for your life is supported by the full cast of God’s entourage.

III. No love relationship with God is complete or whole without complete surrender to the transcendent cause of others.

Preparing for evaluations for improvement for 2023

Who gets to decide what improvements need to be made? Shouldn’t it be the Lord?

“Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.”‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19-20‬ ‭ASV‬‬

How to hear from God this week

I. A change of place and a change of pace brings a whole new perspective.

II. Determine Gods voice is going to be the loudest in your life.

III HERE AM I LORD, SPEAK.

What problems do I face in 2023? What responsibilities do I have in 2023? What goals do I need to have in 2023? What do I need to start in 2023? What do I need to stop in 2023? What hopes and desires do I have in 2023?

“Except Jehovah build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except Jehovah keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep. Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭127:1-5‬ ‭ASV‬‬
