Many of us and many people you know need a new beginning. God is
the God of second chances and God is the God of new beginnings.
Have you ever wished you could go back and start over? Maybe
because of an unpleasant situation of your own making. If only you
could take the words back that you said, if only you could make
different choices. Sadly, in most cases, it is impossible to go
back and change what has been said or done. There is, however, one
area of your life that you can have a new beginning: Your spiritual
life can have a fresh new start! Whatever you need today to get
your spiritual life where God wants you just ask, seek, desire, and
pray? God specializes in New Beginnings. You need to realize or
remember that God created you for His own purposes. Our usefulness
comes from being in His hands. The Master Potter knows how to
create what He designed you for, what He purposes, what He desires,
what He is crafting you for. He knows what needs to happen to turn
you into a vessel of His glory used to bring Him glory. Before our
clay is in the hands of the Master it is simply a lump, not good
for much of anything. But once God has worked it and shaped it, it
becomes His masterpiece. Do you desire to be His masterpiece? I
would also like to give a shout out to the small group Cindy and I
meet with. Last mouth we were able to ring the bell for the
Salvation Army. They help us throughout the year with people who
come to WestWay in need. This is a good mission as 80% of all funds
collected stay in our community. Wishing all a great 2015.

Welcome to the Body of Christ
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put
off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful
desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to
put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness
and holiness. (Eph 4:22-24 NIV) These are Paul’s words to the
Ephesian Christians, and he is exhorting them to not live and think
like the world around them, but to put on the new self and think
like God. As we start a new year we think about putting off the old
habits and doing something different and new, actually it is
something that we need to think about everyday. The good news is
that we don’t have to do it on our own; we have the power of the
Holy Spirit to help us put off the old self and put on the new
self. So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the
desires of the sinful nature (Gal 5:16 NIV). Happy New Year! Scott
Nikont for the last six years has served this body as our office
manager; December 31st will be Scotts last day filling that
capacity. Thank you Scott for serving this body, we look forward to
continuing to minister to you and with you. Things are changing
with the New Year approaching. Be praying that God will be
glorified and that the gospel message of Jesus Christ will be
proclaimed through out Scotts Bluff county and through the world.
Praising Him, Jesus Christ, Willie
