This New Year message, rooted in Ezekiel 36:26, calls the church to begin again—not by trying harder, but by surrendering deeper. God promises to replace hearts of stone with hearts made alive by His Spirit, leading His people into deeper dependence on Him and wider compassion for their community. The sermon challenges believers to start the year with repentance, prayer, obedience, and corporate unity, trusting the Holy Spirit to renew, revive, and reshape their lives. A new year doesn’t begin with resolutions, but with a new heart fully yielded to God’s will and purpose.
