This message invites us into a powerful moment of reflection and celebration as we consider what God has accomplished in our midst over the past year. Drawing from Philippians 1:3-6, we're reminded that Paul thanked God every time he remembered the church at Philippi because of their partnership in the gospel. This same spirit of gratitude permeates our own journey as we witness multiple salvations, baptisms, and families joining our faith community. The harvest we're seeing today is the fruit of years of faithful planting and watering—like farmers who do their part but ultimately depend on God to send the rain. We're challenged to recognize that every act of faithfulness, every prayer, and every outreach is a seed being planted. The scripture from 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 reminds us that we are ambassadors for Christ, called to carry the ministry of reconciliation. This isn't just about maintaining what we have; it's about understanding that a church that doesn't reach out will die when we do. We're positioned at this exact moment in history for a divine purpose—to reach our neighbors, our community, and those God has strategically placed in our paths. The call is clear: faithfulness and outreach must define our next season.
