In this sermon, we explore the powerful truth behind the phrase, “New Year, Same You.” While the turning of a calendar year brings new opportunities, it also reminds us of what hasn’t changed—our struggles, our failures, and our need for a Savior. Reflecting on Jesus’ baptism, we uncover how his perfect life, death, and resurrection redefine our identity. You are not just a sinner carrying the weight of your past; you are a saint, declared God’s beloved child through baptism. Join us as we unpack how this unchanging truth shapes every moment of our lives in this new year and beyond.
