dear rcln,
happy new year!
wow, this is the 5th year of our existence, and i'm reminded of why we began.
to create a space for individuals to get one step closer to God.
in 2024 by the Grace of God, we've helped many people, including myself, move closer to God. we studied, worshiped, evangelized, launched a business (shop.rcln.org), rebranded and so much more. most importantly, they were used as a vessel for God's mission to reconcile the world. the heart of it all is the heart of God and the heart of men.
i am so grateful to our team, our laborers who have selflessly placed their hands on the plow, working tirelessly for the Lord. as we enter 2025, i want to share how God told me to process everything.
1. thank you.
2. i'm sorry.
3. help me.
i want us to include this in our prayers daily, thank Him, repent, and ask for help. we won't meet this month but will find time to pray.
our verse for the year is Exodus 3:13-14
the encounter Moses had with God, that changed the life of Moses.
Exodus 3:13–14 (KJV 1900)
13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
this year we will constantly ask and answer the question, who is God?
we must know who God is if we want to work for Him and introduce people to Him. this encounter was not only life-changing for Moses, but he was used to rescue an entire nation.
we will spend a lot of time in the Old Testament this year, to learn about who God is. read the Old Testament in 90 days with me. or listen to it here. depending on what version you use, you can listen to the whole audio Bible in 9-11 hours. it’s good to listen and read at the same time as well. read and listen slowly and carefully.
i am excited to make this pursuit with you all and will post, record, and do all i can to share with you all that God is saying. i pray you do the same.
i love you.
