Church On The Rock Homer

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you’re as excited about the loud bright lights exploding over the spit as I am. This season has so much joy to offer us, we often don’t want it to end…until realizing our pants don’t fit anymore! This year I heard more people say that the temptation to enjoy sweet treats was irresistible. The holiday music made me do it! We all know what Christmas leads to… New Year's Resolutions! The indulgent holidays usher in the reluctant pursuit of personal goals that are far too often laid aside after a month’s time. Why is it that we are so quickly dismayed from our goals, I think it is in part because we are always longing for a future that never quite comes or when attained is only momentary.  This week the Scriptures will lead us into a better more eternal perspective that guides us through this momentary affliction.
