Filled-Up With God

            I love coming to Sunday School because my Sunday School class always has long, thought out conversations and discussions that are spirit filled.

            Well, everyone, it is now 2017. A brand new year usually bring around something we call New Year's Resolution. Maybe you've decided that this year is the year you'll finally get in shape, the year you'll start eating healthy, or the year you'll keep your room clean for longer than two days....oops.  :) Whether you're like me, and your room isn't always the cleanest, or you want to start taking better care of yourself in 2017, you've got to admit, neither one of those New Years Resolutions are going to be easy or fun to achieve. Well, I have a proposition. How about we all start our 2017 off with a resolution that is a much easier pill to swallow? Instead of forcing ourselves to put down that piece of pizza and pick up a nutritious salad, or trade the binge watching Netflix to vacuum, let's fill our time with a better pursuit. Jesus. Jesus is much easier to find than the will to diet, or exercise, or clean. And even more than that, God is even better for your well-being than a healthy meal. He gives you peace, fills you with a love and joy that nothing can rival. Jesus is also a lot more fun and wayyyy less of a burden than exercise.  :)  After a few days of exercising, the sore muscles may begin to subside and you may begin to feel more powerful and healthy than when you first began the pursuit. But I know a man who will ease all your aches and woes without any pain. Jesus. To begin to fill yourself with the spirit of the Lord and find the peace you need to make it through the year, join us for Sunday School, Sunday at 10 am, or at one our worship service, Sunday at 11 am or 5 pm, and Wednesday at 7 pm. Let's start the New Year off right, with one who can make this year the best year yet.
