Dear Beloved Members, Pastors, and Supporters,
Are you making new resolutions for 2026?
Every new season brings fresh goals, worthy commitments, and renewed determination. But if we’re honest, most of us know the quiet frustration of unfinished work; projects started, but not completed; spiritual goals made, but not maintained; promises spoken, but not fulfilled. Life has a way of exhausting our resolve.
We all know what it feels like to start strong and then lose momentum. Life gets busy, challenges arise, and our resolve starts to fade.
Our life is not powered by our determination alone; it is sustained by God’s grace.
There will be days when weariness sets in and the path seems long. That is when many believers are tempted to quit. They quit praying, quit serving, and quit hoping. But the Lord provides fresh strength for those who trust in Him. When our resolve weakens, His power prevails.
We can keep praying, keep serving, keep obeying, and keep believing, even when it feels difficult, because our confidence is not in our ability to finish but in God’s promise to complete it.
This season, I want to encourage you to renew your resolve:
• Resolve to stay in God’s Word even on busy days.
• Resolve to pray even when answers seem delayed.
• Resolve to finish what God has placed in your hearts.
• Resolve to trust Him even when you cannot trace Him.
Stay resolved. Stay faithful. Stay expectant. He is not done with you yet.
Please know that you are not walking alone or unsupported. God has personally invested Himself in your story, and your local association is here to serve you.
Stay Resolved!
