A Note From Pastor Jacqui, 09/14/22
Hi New Horizon Family, On September 13th, New Horizon Celebrated 41 years of being a Church. I have loved listening to this community’s stories, which resonate deeply with living a Gospel message of hope, love, faithfulness, and courage. In the Scriptures the number ‘40’ is mentioned 146 times, it is symbolic of God forming, gathering […]

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses. Acts 1:8 There are a few scriptures on the walls around the Flamingo campus facility that are like this one. We get power from the Holy Spirit of God SO THAT we are empowered to live a daring life of […]

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit Acts 2:4 Jesus promised the Holy Spirit and delivered on that promise. All those who followed him were filled and that was the power that began the church and continues to sustain the church today. Have you ever felt the presence of the Holy Spirit? Have […]

“Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another.” Prov. 27:17 We need each other to grow in faith. In healthy community relationships we make each other better. We certainly feel better when we are in a group full of energy. We felt this last Sunday on the Easter worship celebrations. People were joyful, we shared in […]

“For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost” Luke 19:10 Have you ever felt lost? I think we all have felt that sense of dread. Something is wrong; I did something I should not have; I didn’t do something I was supposed to do. It is human nature to not know what […]

“Now large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them……” Luke 14:25 There was a time Jesus had large crowds following him. When we see the movies or read the story, we often only picture the band of 12 and maybe a few more. We don’t conjure up visions of large […]

“He set his face to go to Jerusalem” Luke 9:51 I think this is what the season of Lent is all about. Turn your focus and “set your face to go” toward the work that God has designed for you. For Jesus that work could only be completed by heading for Jerusalem. There He would […]

“God has blessed me with the best” The phrase above is not from scripture. However, I did find it in my Bible. I have a Wesley Study Bible that I have read every word in, front to back and notations. Not only have scholars written notes to aid my studies but I have written many […]

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly John 10:10 I have spent the last couple of days in a strategic planning meeting with the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home (FUMCH). As we were talking about the vision of the future of this great ministry I was reminded of this scripture. Jesus […]

God chose you as the first fruits for salvation 1 Thessalonians 2:13 It is always amazing to me that God has chosen me. Chosen me for salvation, hope, grace and to receive the Holy Spirit. Why in the world would God be so generous to me? God has chosen you for a unique purpose. God’s love is […]
