Monthly message for January
Following is the monthly message for January from Pastor Gainus Sikes.
Wow, what a year 2025 was, and now as we start a new year, we have an opportunity to start new. We celebrate the joys of the past, mourn the sorrows, and look forward to what God has in store for us in 2026. I think the thing we can be certain of tomorrow will be different than today and yet God’s unfailing love will always be with us. As we look ahead to the year ahead, we are reminded of why our church was planted in Four Oaks, NC so many years ago. A group of people wanted to plant a seed of hope for the world to share Christ with others in real and meaningful ways. So many people have invested their time, talents, and resources to make this happen over the last 144 years. So, what does our future look like? I don’t think anyone knows, but I am excited to be a part of it and I hope you are also. One thing I do know for sure is that we must face the reality that churches including ours are not growing as they once were and we struggle to reach the very people who God tells us we are to be reaching. We are called to help all people in the name of Christ, planting seeds of hope in real ways so that all people may call Jesus Lord. The commitment that we need to make as we move forward is that we will work together even if it means doing things different than in the past. Knowing times and people are different, but the Gospel remains the same. We as a faith community must recognize that if we want to leave a legacy we have to be willing to let God transform us. I know Corinth Methodist Church looks different today than yesterday and will be different tomorrow. We became a Global Methodist Church in January 2023 and by doing so we are dedicated to preach and teach the full gospel of Jesus Christ while welcoming everyone who wishes to worship the true text of the Holy Bible. I ask everyone to join with me in my prayer that as we move forward toward God’s vision for us, we will be open to the power and presence of the Holy Spirit and we will move as we need to build relationships with ALL PEOPLE both churched and unchurched to help them know, love, and serve God in Christian community. Happy New Year to everyone! God bless you and we hope to see you in church at 10:00 am Sunday.
