2025 THEME: EMBODYING THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN AN UNPEACEFUL WORLD

​​​

​​

Recently, the deacons, trustees, ministers, and ministry leaders have carefully chosen a theme that we believe will guide and inspire us in 2025. The theme is Embodying the Presence of GOD in an Unpeaceful World. “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18).

 

In his letter to the LORD’s followers in Rome, the apostle Paul called their attention to specific challenges of living as believers. He advises them, saying, “Bless those who persecute you . . . Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud . . . Do not be conceited . . . Do not repay anyone evil for evil . . . Do not take revenge . . .” (Romans 12:14-19, NIV). Paul’s advice, in my opinion, is particularly essential to our Embodying the Presence of GOD in an Unpeaceful World.

​

Amid life’s pressures and conflicts, Rafting Creek Baptist Church has a significant role to play. We are to be a living testament to the grace of GOD and the power of the gospel in this world. GOD intends for believers to unmask the world’s pretense and deception by being a people of faith. The biblical response of the church to the un-peacefulness of its time is always to be “steadfast, unmovable” as GOD’s faithful people.

​

 

I ask the members of Rafting Creek Baptist Church to pray for the discernment to understand the importance of Embodying the Presence of GOD in an Unpeaceful world and the courage to take the step in doing so. Living under the sovereignty of our LORD and being loyal and faithful to Christ and the Kingdom of GOD will help us resist much of the turbulence and agitation portrayed in the world.

​

 

Let us hope, pray, and work so that this theme will not only enhance us in decisive ways but also lead to a deepening of our relationships and a growing love and trust for one another. May it intensify our dependence upon prayer, worship, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When we set aside our agendas and preconceived notions and receive “The Creek” as a gift from GOD, we will see relationships healed and love and trust for one another growing.

​

 

Happy New Year’s, Rafting Creek Baptist Church! As we begin our journey through 2025, may the LORD GOD bless us abundantly and fill our hearts with peace.
