This is a great verse to start us off on the new year. We as Christians need to re- member that we can do all things through him (Christ) who gives us strength. All of us have goals for the new year and maybe even fears about what is to come in 2018. Keep in mind that God knows all things before they happen, and even before you were born for that matter. He has a plan for you and that is always to bless you and not harm you. So let his blessings rain down on you this new year and keep faith and strength because he is always by your side. Have a blessed New Year. We welcome you to all ser- vices. Come and worship Je- sus with us. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center.
