Deeply rooted in the concept of renewal and transformation, our theme – Behold – is inspired by 2 Corinthians 3:18 and asserts that by contemplating the perfection of the divine character and claiming Christ’s righteousness by faith, we become more like Him. It beckons us to gaze upon the Almighty and to trust that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, and that He supplies the power for holiness in our lives.
As we step into this new season, let’s open our hearts and minds to witness the unfolding of this new thing. Let’s commit to recognizing and understanding the positive changes and interventions God is bringing into our lives and community. Let’s wholeheartedly embrace this theme, drawing inspiration from the promise of renewal and transformation it holds. Together, with faith and hope, let’s embark on this journey, trusting in God’s guiding hand to lead us to new heights.
