Happy New Year! I love the beginning of a new
year! It’s fresh. It’s new. After suffering through a
terribly difficult 2020, I think we all could use a fresh
start.
Beginning on January 3, we are going to be in a
yearlong study in the Gospel of John. I’m calling it:
GENUINE JESUS! Imagine yourself living in the 1st
century Bible times. God has been silent for 400
years. There was no further talk or discussion of the
Messiah who was to be sent as the Savior of the
World. And then it happens. The Messiah is born
and celebrated by some shepherds and Magi. Just
like God said it would happen. Jesus is the real deal
with it comes to God’s plan for humanity and John
writes all about it! Jesus is God’s final answer in re-
sponse to a dark, cold, and cruel world; and Jesus
is still God’s solution for all that troubles humanity.
I am excited to study this Gospel with you and I
hope you are too. To get the most out of our study
together, it will important to give your sincere effort
to study along with us each week. Remember, the
sermons will be available on our website:
www.burnsidechristian.org.
-Mark
Words can not express how
grateful & humbled I am. Thank
you church family for the cards,
food, and prayers for me now &
before my surgery. May I not
forget your generosity and when I reach my
normal way of life, I could return the
generosity. May God Bless you all real good.
