1st Sunday of 2025
From a pastor’s heart, I can’t express how important it is for you and your family to start 2025 by being in church this Sunday. The first weekend of the year sets the tone for everything that follows. This is your opportunity to prioritize what matters most—your walk with the Lord and the spiritual growth of your family.
Gods Word teaches us…
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
Simply put, here are five reasons why it’s important to be in church this Sunday:
1. Putting Jesus first!
When you start the year worshiping the Lord, you’re acknowledging that He is the center of your life. It’s a declaration that His will and His presence will guide your steps in the year ahead.
2. Setting the Spiritual Tone for Your Year!
The choices you make at the beginning of the year often shape the habits you carry forward. Prioritizing church reminds your family—and yourself—that seeking God comes first.
3. Hearing a Fresh Word from God!
God has something specific for you this year. Being in church this Sunday allows you to start with clarity, encouragement, and direction from His Word. Don’t miss what He wants to speak into your life!
4. Connect with Your Church Family!
Church isn’t just a place; it’s a family. Being surrounded by believers who are pursuing God alongside you brings accountability, encouragement, and strength to face whatever 2025 holds.
5. Teach Your Family What Matters Most
Your children, spouse, and loved ones are watching how you prioritize your time. Choosing to be in church at the start of the year teaches them to value God above all else, building a legacy of faith in your home.
This Sunday isn’t just another service—it’s a chance to start 2025 strong, with your heart aligned to God’s will and your life anchored in His promises.
So, I encourage you—gather your family, make plans, and don’t let anything keep you from being in God’s house this weekend. Let’s walk into the new year together, united as a church, ready to seek Him, serve Him, and glorify Him in all we do.
I can’t wait to see you this Sunday at Mulberry Baptist Church Let’s begin this year in His presence!
