On the final Sunday of 2025, we gathered a little differently. Instead of rushing ahead, we paused to reflect, remember, and give thanks for what God has done this past year.

Drawing from Joshua 3–4, we revisited the moment when the Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan River, called to follow God’s presence into unfamiliar territory. After experiencing a miracle, God instructed them to build a memorial stone so they would never forget His faithfulness and so future generations could hear the story.

In this message, we’re invited to do the same:

• To look back and remember where God showed up in 2025

• To treasure those moments, just as Mary pondered God’s work in her heart

• To carry testimonies of God’s faithfulness as we step into a new year

• To follow God’s presence into places we’ve never been before

As we prepare for 2026, this is a moment to pause, give thanks, and realign our hearts with the Lord—trusting that the same God who led us this far will continue to guide us forward.
