"...to all who believed him (Jesus) and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn--not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God." John 1:12-13This verse summarizes the reason we do everything we do. The motivation and passion we have in advancing God's Kingdom and starting South Bay Church comes from a deep conviction that those who "believe and accept Him" become reborn and enter the family of God.
Life finds meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. We no longer live in "darkness" because He gives "light" and "life" to everyone who trusts Him with their lives, no matter what is in their past. Wow, there's no better message than that!
Father, I pray that in 2009 many more people will find this new life you've promised to those who believe and accept you. I pray that You would teach me and others on our team how to live life to the fullest and take Your message of hope to the rest of the world.
