What’s your purpose in being, for the rest of your days here on this earth? - Join Berni Dymet as he opens God’s Word to take a look at the year ahead ? your year ahead ? through the eyes of God

Have you ever wondered how life begins? Science has come such a long way in helping us understand our bodies, even our minds, but the one thing it can’t explain is how a new life begins. How did that first person come to life? That’s something science simply cannot answer. - Join Berni Dymet as he opens God’s Word to take a look at the year ahead ? your year ahead ? through the eyes of God.

The whole idea of celebrating the beginning of a new year is that there’s a sense of ? well ? it’s out with the old and in with the new, and yet so many of us struggle to let go of the past.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like, to have been there on that very first Christmas, when Jesus was born into this world? In one sense, it would have been very ordinary.

One of the reason that so many people are so exhausted with life, is that they’re carrying the heavy burden of worry, around on their shoulders. I wonder ? if you know anyone like that. You can’t enjoy life, you can’t find the rest you so desperately need, when you’re carrying around the worries of the world. You just can’t!

All too often, God’s people ? who we’re told are meant to be more than conquerors ? lie bloodied and beaten on the spiritual battlefield we call life. What they need is power, but they just can’t seem to find it. Well what if I told you that God has already provided you with all the power you need?

Life is something of a spiritual battlefield and when we’re in the thick of things, it’s so important for us to know what side we’re on. Each one of us has a new identity in Christ, but how many of us know that deep in our hearts, in the heat of the spiritual battle we call life?

The Bible has something incredibly exciting to say about the purpose of God’s grace in your life. Not just the fact that God’s grace is amazing, which of course it is. But it also has a purpose. And that purpose is to take you on the path of freedom. Real freedom.

Truth these days is no longer thought to be absolute. Black and white has become many shades of grey it seems. And yet God’s Word will stand forever.

Fear, does one of two things it either causes us to stand and fight, or to run away because we have a fight or flight response to it. And when we live with chronic fear, that constant fight or flight response is debilitating. You’ll find the words 'do not be afraid' 77 times in the Bible. Do not be afraid. But we know, that’s easier said than done.
