Peter’s story represents beautifully the opportunity that awaits each of us in the midst of this Lenten season. Are we able to see Jesus for who He truly is, step out of our comfort zones, leave our excuses behind, and walk boldly across the water towards our Lord. Life on top of the water is life in a whole new realm of existence. It is where God calls us to reside. Will you join Him?

Does Jesus care? Can Jesus do it? Will Jesus come? Those are the questions that I feel all of us have asked at one point or another in our lives. It could be cancer, a job loss, a struggling marriage, or a financial collapse.

God made sure that there is no gray area when it comes to who Jesus was, is, and always will be.

Jesus gets you. Jesus knows all your human emotions. Jesus fully understands all that you go through as you go through all the ups and downs and twists and turns of life.

When all we worry about is what others see in us, we may miss the most important eyes of all, the eyes of our Lord. What does Jesus see when he looks at us?

How do you see the world. Do you weep at times when you watch the news? Do you find joy when you see the miracles of God all around you? Maybe you are looking with the wrong set of eyes. Put on the eyes of your heart.

One set of eyes will raise you up and the other set will bring you down. Which one does which may very well surprise you. It’s a new year, will you put on new eyes?

Pastor Paul Bennett will begin the sermon series, “New Year - New Eyes” with the sermon, “TBD” based on Numbers 13:1-3, 26-33.

Lynn Gorton will be preaching on God’s hopes and wishes for us in the New Year.

How we react will set the course for the rest of our lives and for many others whom God will place on our path. Will you, “CHOOSE TO BELIEVE” this Christmas Eve?

Are deep enough in your faith to see an interruption in your life as a divine one? Our reactions to those interruptions in life will depend on how well we know this Jesus that is about to born into the world. Will you see your interruptions as divine ones after coming to Bethlehem this Advent season?

Are you giving yourself time to ponder, to pray, and to contemplate what God is trying to do in you and through you? Are you preparing yourself to say, “Let it be.”
