Breathing in New Life!

March is a month of transition. The cold temperatures and shorter days give way to warmer and lengthening days of sunlight the brown and gray begins to change to green and colorful. It is a time where creation breathes in new life! The same may be said of Gods people as we breathe in the new life we have found in Jesus Christ. Faith Christian Church is a body of believers who are witnessing what happens when people center and focus on the Lord Jesus. God has laid out a path before us filled with many blessings we are born and live to be blessed!! It is my prayer for you to breathe in the new life offered to us every day. Gods mercies are new every morning each day God is proving faithful as we engage in sharing the love of Jesus. The challenges we face are Gods ways to shape and mold into the people He desires to bless. The key is to let loose and let God do His work in our lives. We have been freed from the sins and shortcomings the victory over sin and death was accomplished when Jesus went to Calvary and was raised on the third day! The life that flowed through the tomb where Jesus was laid now flows in in the hearts of those who trust and believe in Him. Take the opportunity to breathe in the new life God has ordained for you. Gods Blessings, Pastor Reid
