New Year

Fresh Starts and New Purposes

Begin the year anchored in God's mercy, driven by purpose, and free from the weight of the past.

  1. Fresh Start: God's Mercies Are New Every Morning

    Every day is a new opportunity for grace; the past does not define the future
    Lamentations 3:22-33; Isaiah 43:18-19; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Psalm 121:1-8
    Main Point

    If you entered this year carrying shame about last year, or failure, or regret, the gospel meets you with the voice of God: your past is not your future. His mercies are new every morning, which means that a fresh start is always available.

  2. Vision and Purpose: Pressing On Toward the Goal

    God has called you for a purpose; living with vision means living with intentionality
    Philippians 3:7-14; Proverbs 29:18; Habakkuk 2:2-3; Psalm 37:23-24
    Main Point

    Without vision, we drift. With vision anchored in God's calling, we press forward with purpose. This year is an invitation to clarify what God is calling you to do and to pursue it with both urgency and trust.

  3. Letting Go and Moving Forward

    You cannot hold the past and embrace the future at the same time
    Isaiah 43:16-19; Philippians 3:13-14; Hebrews 12:1-2; Luke 9:61-62
    Main Point

    God is always doing a new thing, but we cannot step into it while clinging to what was. This year requires both courage to let go and faith to trust that what God has ahead is better than what we're releasing.
