JANUARY 2026
GOOD NEWS
2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become
January carries a quiet promise.
Not the loud kind of optimism that fades by mid-month — but the deeper assurance that real change is possible. Scripture doesn’t frame new beginnings as something we manufacture through willpower or resolutions. It tells us they come from transformation.
In Christ, renewal isn’t symbolic. It’s actual, tangible, and real.
The past does not get the final word. Old patterns, old failures, old labels… they are not the authority over your future. God doesn’t simply improve what already exists; HE makes something new.
That matters as a new year begins.
Some of us enter January hopeful. Others enter it tired, carrying things from last year we wish we could leave behind. This verse speaks to both. It reminds us that identity isn’t anchored to yesterday — it’s anchored to what God is doing now.
New doesn’t always mean easy.
New doesn’t always mean instant.
But new means possible.
And it means purposeful.
As this year unfolds, may we walk forward not pretending the past didn’t happen… but trusting that it no longer defines us. In Jesus Christ alone, what’s ahead is not a repeat. It’s a renewal.
All things have become new.

THANK YOU FOR READING
Thank you for starting your year with us
Being made new doesn’t erase memory, pain, or responsibility. It reorders them. It places them under the authority of grace instead of guilt, purpose instead of regret.
For anyone who feels defined by what they’ve carried — mistakes, labels, seasons that didn’t go as planned — this verse offers clarity: the past is not the final authority. God is.
And what HE creates, HE renews completely.
All things have become new.
