Hi Newport Church Family,
We hope that you have had a great start to the year and are experiencing a fresh measure of God’s grace and favor.
21 DAY RESET – Starting Monday January 11th
In two days we start our annual 21 days of Prayer and Fasting, which we are naming a 21 Day RESET!
This is a great opportunity for all of us to dedicate our year to God and to take time for a Spirit, Soul and Body RESET.
21 DAY DEVOTIONAL
Our Devotional, which will have a new “Word for the Day” each day, along with a short video encouragement will be posted on our Website and Instagram daily.
We would love for you to join us in what is going to be a powerful time for each one of us and for us as a church.
21 DAY PERSONAL GOALS
We encourage you to set some personal goals to RESET for 2021
Goal setting helps us to be proactive about what we want to achieve. Setting goals for a shorter period of time also makes our goals more achievable, while establishing patterns and habits that will bring new growth and health.
Here are 5 Spiritual goals that we can all participate in daily:
1) Pray
Set a specific and amount of time to pray each day, without distractions, and make that an intentional part of your day.
2) Fast
Choose a fast that is an “appetite-denying discipline to better focus on God” and keep yourself accountable for 21 days.
3) Read your Bible
Set aside time each day to read your Bible and pray that God will speak to you through His Word.
4) Worship
Be part of our weekend services, whether its online or at our Newport Church Café outside our building.
5) Give
Honor God through our giving, trusting that He will honor His promises to open the windows of heaven and multiply the seed we sow, so that we can continue to be a storehouse for our community and beyond.
Let’s believe God together, that He will do extraordinary things as we set this time aside to pray, fast and seek Him in His Word!
NEW SERIES STARTING THIS SUNDAY – “RESET, RENEW, REBUILD”
This Sunday I will be starting a new series which the Holy Spirit highlighted to me, from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, for this year.
It’s time to RESET, it’s time to RENEW and it’s time to REBUILD and I believe that this will be a timely message for us all as we enter this new year and season.
We hope that you can join us this Sunday for the first part of this new series, and for a powerful time of worship.
If you are unable to join us live at 11am, the service will be available on YouTube and the podcast of the messages will also be available on our website.
Even though we may not all be able to be in the same place physically, we can still continue to stay connected through our weekend service and be on the same page with our theme for the beginning of the new year.
OUR PRAYER FOR YOU
Our prayer for you this year is, that you will know God’s presence, power and provision in ever increasing ways and that through you many others may know of the love and grace of God that you experience.
Let’s believe together, as we seek God first in these first days of 2021, that we will know the reality and power of these words of Jesus in our lives and church:
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
Believing God with you for blessing and breakthrough in these next 21 days.
We love and appreciate you greatly.
With love and blessings
Jonathan & Dianne Wilson
