I hope each of us are “resolved” this new year to have some specific goals to make 2011 characterized by these loving directives given to us by a amazing God. Today, we will explore some of the realities that can hold us back from living up to God-given capacity and how to join God in His creation of the new from the old. I trust God will bless each person in genuine ways as we worship together this day. You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; God gives power and strength to his people. (Psalm 68:35
