Welcome to New Life Community Church        "Where New Life is Found in Christ"

Everything Beautiful

(Pastor John Motz)

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."
Ecclesiastes 3:11
"Wow, what a difference!" That's what everyone is saying as they arrive at the church these days since the church has received her new coat of paint! Yet it is more than simply fresh paint, it is a message to our neighbors that something new is afoot. The new look should denote the hope of a fresh start. Could it cause a passerby to say, "I need a fresh start", or "maybe Jesus would be a difference maker in my life". That is our prayer, that the new look is not just beautiful, but speaks something even more profound to those who see it.
God is into making things beautiful. Consider His creation, we are placed in the midst of a beautiful creation so we can enjoy his handiwork for sure, but also that it might point us to Him. Psalm 19 reminds us that "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
May the paint we apply, the ways we serve, the words we choose, the manner in which we love one another all point beyond ourselves so that God receives all the glory due Him.
