As we come to the close of the year, many of us are tempted to believe that a new calendar automatically means a new season. But Scripture reminds us that real change doesn’t begin with new circumstances—it begins with a renewed mind.

In this message, Reset, Not Repeat, I walk through Romans 12 and Lamentations 3 to show how God invites us to end the year intentionally, not emotionally. We talk about the danger of carrying old thinking into new territory, the difference between survival and transformation, and how God’s mercy is meant to lead us into renewal—not repetition.

This sermon is a pastoral call to reflection, surrender, and alignment as we step forward. My prayer is that as you listen, the Holy Spirit helps you release old patterns, renew your thinking, and walk confidently into what God is preparing next.
