  139. forever well good morning life Bridge

  140. Church I am so grateful to be gathered

  141. here with you today and even though

  142. we're not gathered together in person I

  143. do want you to know that this is

  144. intentional uh we do not do this often

  145. and quite honestly we don't want to make

  146. a habit of doing this uh but this is

  147. something that we have done over the

  148. past several years where we have looked

  149. at that final Sunday coming out of one

  150. year and going into another year as a

  151. Sabbath that we want to reflect on all

  152. of the great things that the Lord has

  153. done in our midst and if you've been

  154. with us over the course of the past year

  155. you know that there has been plenty that

  156. the Lord has done we talked about it as

  157. we went through all of our different

  158. collections throughout the year uh

  159. starting with how we were talking about

  160. different things that people believe

  161. that tend to be uh lies that we think

  162. are true in scripture something that we

  163. called Truth Decay that we walked

  164. through uh all of these different

  165. realities as we move through Rome R

  166. chapter 8 about what it is to have the

  167. Assurance of a believer in Christ Jesus

  168. that more recently we found ourselves uh

  169. going through Resurrection stories that

  170. we found ourselves discussing uh things

  171. about uh our finances into infinity and

  172. beyond that we walk through how God has

  173. blessed our church with uh more people

  174. that have been a part of our church but

  175. that there's also been more resource and

  176. opportunity for us to do more things for

  177. the kingdom of God so we're grateful uh

  178. to be gathered here with you on this

  179. sabbath kind of reflecting with this

  180. grateful attitude on everything that

  181. he's done uh but then look forward with

  182. some expectation about what it is that

  183. the Lord is going to do uh one thing

  184. that we've often quoted over the past uh

  185. 3 to four years uh is a passage in

  186. Isaiah in Isaiah uh in particular in

  187. chapter 43 in verse uh 18 and 19 we see

  188. that the Lord is uh speaking about some

  189. things that uh we need to let go of and

  190. then some things that we need to look

  191. forward to and the thing that I would

  192. say over the past several years is that

  193. we've used that verse kind of uh in a

  194. way to look forward to the future with

  195. an expectation of what it is that God is

  196. going to do that we have sensed deep in

  197. our hearts that the Lord has taken our

  198. church through some in incredible ground

  199. and we've seen the Lord give us some

  200. incredible ground but now as we move

  201. into 2025 I want you to know that we

  202. really believe that 2025 is a pivotal

  203. year in the life of our church we

  204. believe that 2025 is a year where uh

  205. rather than just sensing that the Lord

  206. wants to do something new we believe

  207. that we're stepping into the new in 2025

  208. and so I want to read Isaiah

  209. 43: 18-19 with you and just reflect on

  210. this for a moment it says this do not

  211. remember the past events pay no

  212. attention to the things of old now I

  213. think some of that obviously we know is

  214. uh it's it's hyperbolic in the sense

  215. that paying attention to the things of

  216. old saying no longer paying attention to

  217. the things of old it doesn't mean that

  218. uh you you discount or you you don't at

  219. all understand things that have happened

  220. in the past but but what it means now is

  221. that stepping into something new we're

  222. not paying attention to the old we're

  223. not dwelling on it we know what has

  224. happened we know all of the great things

  225. that the Lord has done and all of the

  226. difficult things that the Lord has

  227. brought us through but now we see that

  228. it says we're not paying attention to

  229. them we're not dwelling on those things

  230. any longer Lord says look I am about to

  231. do something new even now it is coming

  232. do you not see it indeed I will make a

  233. way in the wilderness and rivers in the

  234. desert we believe that 2025 is a year

  235. where our church is going to step into a

  236. whole lot of new that we're really

  237. excited to share with you on January 5th

  238. and we also want you to know we're

  239. believing that for your families uh

  240. we're believing that there are some

  241. incredible things that the Lord is

  242. bringing you into as a family alongside

  243. our church we believe that the Lord's

  244. eye that is heart that is hand is on the

  245. city of Orlando and where we're at in

  246. windir and that as we find ourselves

  247. being grateful and reflecting on all of

  248. the things that the Lord has done in

  249. 2024 we also know that there's some

  250. things that moving forward into the new

  251. year that he's going to do that are

  252. quite honestly going to blow our minds

  253. uh we want to have a high expectation of

  254. what God is going to do we see that the

  255. Lord is specific he says I'm going to

  256. make a way in the wilderness rivers in

  257. the desert things that seem impossible

  258. uh that those are things that you would

  259. look at the landscape of that situation

  260. and say there is no possible way that

  261. that could actually come to fruition and

  262. yet the Lord says that is exactly what

  263. I'm going to do so here's what I would

  264. ask of you would you pray with us over

  265. the course of this sabbath break that we

  266. would be a people that have a high

  267. expectation and that people that come

  268. into the house on January the 5th are

  269. people that are filled with joy about

  270. the things that the Lord is going to do

  271. we have said before in our time together

  272. as a church uh that Faith prays in the

  273. past tense uh that that Faith thanks God

  274. in advance for what hasn't even happened

  275. yet and does that mean that we're trying

  276. to pray what it is that we want to

  277. happen into the will of God no not

  278. necessarily we we believe that we're

  279. already in step with the will of God

  280. that the Lord has shown us the things

  281. that he wants to do and so we have

  282. worked around that and said Lord we want

  283. to go Downstream with you that you've

  284. made a river

  285. in the desert and we want to be a part

  286. of that great work and so will you join

  287. me in praying now for 2025 will you join

  288. me in having a high expectation of

  289. everything that the Lord is going to do

  290. because if 2024 was any indication of

  291. what he wants to do we believe that 2025

  292. is quite honestly going to blow our

  293. minds that he will make that way in the

  294. wilderness that he will make that River

  295. in the desert and we believe that we

  296. will see those things that the Lord has

  297. promised in 2025 Lord we thank you right

  298. now for the opportunity to gather in

  299. your name even from afar God I thank you

  300. for rest I thank you for the fact that

  301. we have a people that have en enjoyed

  302. hopefully uh an incredible holiday

  303. together uh that have stepped into a new

  304. year here shortly together and that we

  305. not only step into a new year

  306. recognizing that there's some

  307. resolutions that we can make but that

  308. there's an expectation that we can have

  309. Lord we are believing that 2025 is going

  310. to be the best year ever in the life of

  311. our church church and we believe that

  312. you have already made it clear what that

  313. needs to look like Lord as we share

  314. together what that's going to look like

  315. as a church would it be something that

  316. we are filled with joy over and that we

  317. are just uh incredibly incredibly

  318. humbled to be a part of Lord I believe

  319. that you are doing something in the life

  320. of our people and in the life of our

  321. church uh that 2025 is going to be a

  322. defining year that we look at and we

  323. recall and reflect as we go into 2026

  324. just how pivotal it was Lord thank you

  325. you for the body that you have put

  326. together here in windir and beyond for

  327. the glory of your name and your Renown

  328. Lord we love you we praise you and we

  329. thank you we ask these things in Jesus
