Resolve: “To say YES to Christ.”

Maybe a good New Year’s Resolution is to learn to just say YES to Jesus. To do that requires trust and faith. Look at the first disciples…. How did they do it?!

“He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him.” James and his brother John dropped everything to follow Christ. They embarked on this unknown journey with Je- sus, traveling “around all of Galilee”. Jesus’ call of- fered them neither stability nor security. All they had Anniversary of Dedication was trust in him.
