Hello New City,
So, how’s 2014 treating you so far? If I’m honest, I’ve had better years and we are just 8 days in! Yet, in the midst of some trying circumstances, God is faithful and He is good. My prayer is that we would all let that reality guide our lives everyday and lean on Him rather than look to our own strength or circumstances
If you missed last week, I encourage you to listen online or subscribe to the podcast as it might help encourage you to set your eyes on Jesus in 2014.
This week, we’ll be talking about more about the vision of New City Church and what we hope to see happen in 2014. We will also be updating you on FlourishPhoenix and some exciting developments.
God has promised to move with His church. He is building it and is calling faithful workers to labor in His Kingdom. May 2014 be a year we walk with God.
Flourish,
Brian and the rest of the New City team
