MESSAGE DETAILS

In this short New Year message, Pastor Tim shares what’s been on his heart as the church steps into 2026: a call to go deeper with the Lord and not settle into spiritual stagnation. He highlights four words to carry into the year ahead: love, diligence, faithfulness, and wisdom. Drawing from John 13:34–35, he reminds us that Jesus said the world will recognize His disciples by their love for one another, and that our mission is to love like Christ and help others do the same. From 1 Timothy 1:5, he offers a “compass” for navigating a world full of noise and confident opinions: the goal of instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Pastor Tim also reflects on endurance in leadership and spiritual growth, urging believers to watch both life and doctrine closely (1 Timothy 4:12–16), and to persevere with integrity for the good of others. He closes with 1 Peter 4:7–11, calling the church to sober-minded prayer, constant love, hospitality, and faithful stewardship of the gifts God has given, serving in His strength so Christ is glorified.
