Guest speaker John Nance reminds us that as believers, we enter a new year by looking back with gratitude and moving forward with hope. Reflecting on God’s mercy, not with regret or pride, allows us to see His faithfulness through every season. Drawing from Scripture, John emphasizes three truths: God has been faithful and deserves our gratitude, we must commit to walking in faith and obedience today—not later—and we can rest in the assurance that God will finish the work He began in us. Our hope is not in resolutions but in Christ, whose mercies are new every morning. As we step into the new year, we are invited to respond in repentance, surrender, and renewed devotion to the Lord who never fails.
