Greetings in the name of the Lord this Lunar New Year!
As we step out of 2024, a time of enlargement, stretching, and growing, God is calling us in 2025 into a year of intimacy with Him. It is a time to go deeper in our walk with Him—no longer frolicking in shallow waters, but deepening and strengthening the stakes (Isaiah 54:2) of our relationship with Jesus and becoming robust Christians.
“I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death” – Philippians 3:10
You may ask: What might this entail? How can we really know Christ and be known by Him? What does this intimacy in Christ involve?
As we go through this year together, you will realise that none of us are on this journey alone! In this new year, Thrive is excited to introduce a new series of monthly blog contributions from our members. We’ll share testimonies of how God has worked in our lives, reflections on sermons, insights from devotion times, and the ways God has been speaking to us.
We invite you to be a part of our community here at Thrive. It is our hope that these stories and reflections will uplift, encourage, and draw you into a deeper walk with Christ this year. Looking forward to all that God will do!
