Good morning and Happy New Year!
It’s a New Year—a year full of endless possibilities! What are your goals… not
resolutions—goals? Do any of your goals involve God, Jesus, and/or the Holy
Spirit? Are you seeking Him in all you aspire to do?
Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV – Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

TITHE & OFFERING
If we say He is first in our hearts, then He must be first in our finances, our
families, and our faith. There are many blessings that come with tithing. But it is the principle of putting God first and trusting Him that initiates the blessings.
Deuteronomy 28:12 NIV: The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will
borrow from none.” There are several ways to give at sbw.center.
