Core Truth: No Christian needs to enter a new year without hope! As poet Alexander Pope once wrote in his poem An Essay on Man, hope really does “spring eternal,” and regardless of how 2024 may have been, as God’s children we can have real hope that 2025 can and will be a better year, because according to God’s Word in such places as Jeremiah 29:11-12, He has a Master Plan for each one of us and according to Philippians 1:6-7, He is in the habit of finishing whatever He starts!

In today’s message we’ll consider these thoughts about it.
