A New Thing

There are moments in life when it’s hard to see what God is doing. Circumstances can feel uncertain, and the future may seem unclear. Yet God speaks words of hope to His people in Isaiah 43:19, saying, “See, I am doing a new thing; now it springs up, do you not perceive it?” Even when we don’t recognise it, God is actively at work, bringing transformation and renewal.

The new thing God is doing in us is all because of Jesus. Through His death on the cross, our sins are forgiven, and through His resurrection, new life is made possible for us. When we place our trust in Christ for salvation, through the Gospel, God gives us lasting hope for today and eternity.

God does not intend this hope to stop with us. He calls us to share the Good News with those around us who are searching for meaning and peace.

A New Future

It’s easy to get stuck looking backward. Past failures. Past pain. Past mistakes. But God calls us to lift our eyes, to set our minds to seek the things above.

In Isaiah forty-three verse eighteen (43:18), He says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” God doesn’t want our past to hold us captive. Through Jesus Christ, our past is forgiven, our guilt is removed, and our future is secure.

Jesus took our sin upon Himself on the cross and rose again so we could walk in freedom and newness of life. When we place our faith in Him, we are no longer defined by what was, but by who He is.

If God has freed you from the past, share that freedom with others. There are people around you who need to hear the Gospel — that forgiveness and grace are available today through believing in Jesus Christ ALONE.

The Hope of Heaven

In a world filled with uncertainty, many people wonder what comes next. Pain, loss, and change remind us how temporary this life can be. But for those who trust in Christ, the Bible offers a powerful promise.

In Isaiah sixty-five seventeen (65:17), the Lord says, “I will create new heavens and a new earth.” God is preparing something far greater than anything we experience here. For believers, Heaven is not wishful thinking. It is a certain hope secured by Jesus Christ. Through His death on the cross, our sin was fully paid for, and through His resurrection, eternal life was made possible.

Because Jesus lives, those who trust in Him can face the future with confidence, knowing that after this present life ends, as citizens of heaven, our dwelling place is with God.

This hope is too important to keep to ourselves. Every person will spend eternity somewhere, and God calls us to share the Gospel so others may share the same hope we have.

Jesus Brings True Peace

Our world is searching for peace. We see it in our neighbourhoods, our cities, and even in our own homes. People talk about peace, but so often what we find is division, fear, and unrest.

The Bible reminds us that true peace doesn’t come from agreements or good intentions. It comes through the person of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:13-16 tells us that Jesus came to create something new – to bring peace where hostility existed.

Through Jesus Christ, we are first brought into peace with God. On the cross, He took our sin upon Himself, and through His resurrection, He made a way for forgiveness and new life.

As beloved in Christ, God calls us to share this message of peace with others. Changed lives change families. Changed families change communities. And through the Gospel spreading person to person, true peace is brought to humanity.

Join what God is already doing and look for opportunities to share Jesus with those around you.

The New Has Come

Have you ever wished you could start over? A fresh page. A clean slate. Maybe you’re carrying regrets from last year, or even from years ago - things you wish you could have said or done better!

The good news is, God specialises in new beginnings.

In 2 Corinthians five-seventeen (5:17), the Apostle Paul declares, “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Did you hear that? “The NEW has come.” Through Jesus Christ, God offers forgiveness for our sin, healing for our brokenness, and new life that begins now and lasts forever.

Jesus died on the cross and rose again so we could be made new, not by our effort, but by His grace. When we trust in Him, our past no longer defines us.

Our future is secure in Him. If God has made your life new through Christ, don’t keep that hope to yourself.

Share the Gospel today! — the message of new life through Jesus ALONE — with those around you today.
