In the book of Psalms, King David wrote: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:2). He knew that it’s only by looking back at God’s faithfulness in years past, that our hearts are encouraged to look forward in faith to the years ahead.

The Christian life is an exercise in looking back and looking forward. Looking back in gratitude and looking forward with confidence. Looking back in appreciation and looking forward with vision. Looking back in thankfulness and looking forward with faith. By doing this we’re able to handle our present challenges with poise, and step into our future with assurance.

 As we look ahead to this year’s Expansion Offering, we can look back and see God’s faithfulness to our church over many years. From 2019 to present, it’s remarkable to consider how the Lord has worked in the expansion of our ministry centres, empowering us to take great steps forward.

For every person who calls Calvary ‘home’, we simply ask that you prayerfully prepare your heart for this year’s Expansion Offering, as we will be doing in our household.

As we each do this, I’m confident that just as God has been faithful in our past, He’ll show Himself faithful again in our future.
