A New Year’s Message from Our Pastor and Leading Lady
2018 Theme: “THE YEAR OF ELEVATION” 1st Peter 5:6
2018 Theme: “THE YEAR OF ELEVATION” 1st Peter 5:6
So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. (MSG)
Can you believe it’s that time of year again when we begin to reflect on the past year, and start making promises to ourselves about all the ways we will change in the year ahead. It’s the time for setting our New Year’s Resolutions…right? Well, the thing about resolutions is that they often carry with them the weight of failure. Our intentions may be good, but the moment we lose sight of those resolutions we become guilt-ridden and usually give up on the goal altogether. That’s why here at Solomon’s Temple we encourage our Disciples of Christ to share with us in a unified theme rather than a resolution because themes allow changes to take shape in various aspects of your life, versus one specific area. As the year progresses a theme may reveal itself in more ways than you intended. During the morning worship service in November 2017 God revealed to me that our focus in 2018 should be to upgrade or advance forward by the power of God. Kingdom Victory has dared us to align ourselves with spiritual principles for future promotions. Thus, our 2018 theme will be “THE YEAR OF ELEVATION”; whether it be spiritually, emotionally, economically, physically or in another area of your life. We intend to Decrease to Increase because of God’s mighty hand on us. We won’t attempt to explain it all to you in this opening statement, stay close because it’s already started!! It’s on and poppin!! It’s your season to be blessed!! As always we appreciate you for your continued support of the Kingdom and Solomon’s Temple Ministry. We couldn’t have gotten where we are without your efforts to God and the community. Watch the doors open for you, your family and our church as you commit yourselves to another year of Kingdom building. Let us continue to work, worship and witness together for an Elevated influence in our ministry, the community and even greater, the Kingdom of God.
“HAPPY NEW YEAR” and we love you all.
Pastor K. D. & (LL) Elder E. R Shivers
