Great Is Your Faithfulness, "Starting the Year with God," FPC Modern Service, 1/4/26, 1/5

The Rev. Dr. Zac McGowen delivers today's message.

The source scripture for the sermon includes: Lamentations 3:21-26 and 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. God's faithfulness is the foundation of all hope, and renewal begins in his sovereign mercy.

Today's sermon opens the new year by centering us on God's steadfast faithfulness as revealed in Lamentations and 2 Corinthians. We begin by reflecting on the context of Lamentations - grief and loss - but also how the prophet emphasized God's mercies as "new every morning," thus setting up a posture of hope.

In 2 Corinthians, the passage draws attention to God as the "Father of compassion and God of all comfort." God sustains his people through every trial. All of us should keep in mind that God's mercies are not earned; his faithfulness is reliable across generations; and our hope depends on God, not on our circumstances.
