Fear

"The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?"
                                                              Psalm 27:1

Today is January 16, and we are already into week three of 2013.

• Are you standing on the dock?
• Are you getting into the boat?
• Are you ready to sail away from shore?

You don't have to live in fear this year and hide on the dock.  Look to Jesus Christ.
Jesus wants to be Lord of your life.

Ask the Lord Jesus Christ to break the stronghold of fear in your life.  He wants you to live in freedom.  "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." I Peter 5:7.

So jump off the dock into the boat and let Jesus Christ be the wind in your sails for 2013.

 Come along with us on a journey to get to know both the man and the Book of James. You will never be the same again.  Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, wisdom, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer.

One in a Million

Journey to Your Promised Land

One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land by Priscilla Shirer.  She encourages participants to fully engage in the abundant life God has waiting for those who will allow Him to lead in their daily living. One in a Million is an opportunity for you to experience your deliverance from strongholds, to conquer your wilderness living, and to claim your God-given inheritance.

Come join Holly Ladner and Michelle Cable on Wednesday evenings, January 9 - February 27, at 6:30 in Room 310.

Unglued

All women experience "unglued feelings" at times, often when they least expect it. These emotions are not wrong, in fact they are God-given. However our emotions should be indicators — not dictators. God gave us emotions to experience life, not destroy it! Each experience is an opportunity to either fall back into patterns that make us wallow in guilt or chose more wisely and make progress.

Come join Miriam Eng on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 in Room 315.

If you have any questions: Contact Apex Baptist Women at 919-362-6176 Ext. 207.

Hope for 2013!

Happy New Year!!  Hard to believe it is 2013 already.  I don't know what your 2012 looked like.  But my prayer is that 2013 will be an awesome year for you.  One way for this to happen is to "Start Your New Year God's Way".  This was the title of Pastor John Mark's sermon this past Sunday. If you haven't heard the message I encourage you to go online and listen to it. 

God desires to spend time with each of us every day.  God desires to have a intimate relationship with you.  God desires to speak to you and show you how to live for Him.  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your steps."  Proverbs 3:5-6.

On New Year's Day in my quiet time with God, He spoke to me.  His word for me this upcoming year is Hope.  To forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead.  Don't slide into a pit of despair, depression, apathy, or complacency.  God is present.  "I wait in hope for the Lord, He is my help and my shield, In Him my heart rejoices for I trust in His Holy Name. May Your unfailing love rest upon me, O Lord, even as I put my hope in You."  Psalm 33:20-22. 

For my hope to rest in God, I have to spend time with Him.  Make your time with God a priority.  Set an appointment and prepare for it.  Take your Bible, notebook, and pen and just sit with God.  Pray, talk to Him about everything.  God wants to have an intimate relationship with you.  Start today.  He is waiting, He is never busy, He is always there.  I pray that 2013 be a year of hope for you.  Put your hope in God!

Blessings,
Melody
