As we continue our series allowing God to prepare us for the new year, today we’re going to look at the promise of God that we can do all things in his strength. My hope is that we’re filled with courage and hope today for what God can and will do in us as we make space to live and work in him in this new year.

Our Scripture for today comes from Philippians 4:13, and today's worship is You Make Me Brave by Bethel Music featuring Amanda Cook.
