• A Message From Rev. Jim Toth

  Good morning,

  Wow! Can you believe this year is almost over? Our attitude going into a new year is often determined by how the present one played out. For some, maybe 2025 has been a good year. For others, maybe they cannot wait for it to be over. There is something most of us carry in our thoughts going into a new year, and that something is … hope.

  We hope for things to be better or different. Whether it is physical, spiritual, or maybe financial … we all hope. But what do we do when we hope for a period of time, nothing happens, and it seems like that … hope is gone? Has this ever happened to you?

  This morning we will look at something that happened in the Apostle Paul’s life, what he went through, and how he persevered. It is my prayer and … hope you will be encouraged as we begin a new year of serving Jesus.

  Have a great Lord’s Day!
