New Year Service

1st January, 2025

Speaker: Rev. Ishaku Ibrahim Wumthias

Text: Philippians 3:10

Topic: Knowing Christ and the Power of His Resurrection

Introduction:

As we begin this new year, it is vital for us as Christians to renew our commitment to knowing Jesus Christ deeply and intimately. Philippians 3:10 emphasizes the apostle Paul's desire to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. This should also be our heart's cry as we navigate the year ahead.

Understanding Christ’s Life and Ministry:

To truly know Christ, we must understand His life, ministry, and sacrifice. From His miraculous birth to His ministry of teaching, healing, and demonstrating God's love, and ultimately, His death and resurrection, Jesus exemplified the perfect life that we, as Christians, are called to emulate. Our identity as Christians—followers of Christ—requires that we strive to live like Him in every aspect of our lives.

Fellowship with Christ:

Revelation 3:20 reminds us of Christ's desire for fellowship with us. He stands at the door of our hearts, waiting for us to invite Him in. This year, let us prioritize our relationship with Him by opening our hearts fully to His guidance, comfort, and love.

The Power of His Resurrection:

Knowing the power of Christ's resurrection is about experiencing the transformative power of His victory over sin and death. This power enables us to live in freedom, overcome life's challenges, and walk in newness of life.

Encouragement for the New Year:

As we step into 2025, let us draw closer to God by seeking to know Him more deeply than ever before. Through prayer, studying His Word, and living a life of obedience, may we experience His presence and power in extraordinary ways.

Conclusion:

May this year be one of spiritual growth, deeper fellowship with Christ, and the manifestation of His resurrection power in our lives. Let us embrace the opportunity to know Christ and reflect His love to the world around us. Happy New Year, and may God bless us abundantly!
