But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, and you are mine. Isaiah 43:1 (ESV)
Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus,
At our parish prayer last Saturday, Roger shared from Isaiah 43:1. This verse offers immense confidence and assurance to every believer. God has personally called each one of you. What great joy to be called sons and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
My family and I would like to thank the congregation for your warm welcome and prayers. We look forward to a fruitful and Spirit-filled ministry with you and among you.
