As we step into a brand-new year, this message calls us to pause before planning and align our hearts with God through consecration. Before setting goals or filling our calendars, we look to Jesus—setting our time, our minds, and our lives apart for His purpose. Through prayer and fasting, we reset our spiritual focus, silence the noise of the world, and make room for God to lead us forward. This sermon reminds us that when we consecrate our year to the Lord, He fills the space, directs our steps, and shapes a future built on His will, not our own.
