A Happy New Year Sermon (NIV) — Verse-by-Verse Journey Through Hope, Faith. Photo by Natalie Kinnear on Unsplash There’s something strange about the way a new year feels, right? It’s like the air itself got washed overnight. You wake up and somehow the old troubles feel a bit lighter, even if they’re still sitting at the table drinking your tea. I don’t know about you, but every New Year’s morning, I get this tiny spark inside me—like God tapping my heart saying, “Hey, we’re going again.” And sometimes I’m excited, sometimes tired, sometimes confused, sometimes all three. So in this study, I want to walk through a kind of “New Year Sermon” rooted mainly in Psalm 65:11 (NIV) and a few other anchor verses around it. It’s not a traditional verse-by-verse of one chapter, but more like a verse-by-verse journey through a “Happy New Year message” straight from Scripture. And I’ll wander a bit, like humans do when they talk too long and start telling stories. The NIV puts Psalm 65:11 bea...

A Happy New Year Sermons (NKJV) – Verse-by-Verse Commentary & Reflection Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash New Year sermons always hits me with this weird mix of hope and heaviness. I don’t know about you, but every December 31st I sorta sit there with a cup of chai or coffee (depends on the mood really) and just stare at the window thinking, “Man… how did the entire year slip like that?” And sometimes the past feels loud, noisy inside your head—regrets banging like old dishes in a sink. But the Bible, especially the NKJV passages we’re gonna walk through today, always pulls me back into something steadier than my anxious thoughts. So today I want to walk you gently, verse by verse, through a kind of “New Year sermon collection” built from different Scriptures. Not a rigid outline, more like wandering through a garden of Scriptures and stopping whenever something smells sweet or stings a little. And we talk about it. Like friends. Like a Bible study in someone’s living room wh...

A Year Held in His Hands| A New Year Sermon Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Every time a new year comes close, something in me start feeling that weird mix of excitement and heaviness. Maybe you know the feeling too—like you’re standing at this invisible doorway. One foot in the old year (the stuff you want to forget but somehow still sticks to you like stubborn glue), and the other foot stepping into something you still can’t see clearly. And sometimes you’re hopeful, sometimes you’re scared, sometimes you’re… well, both at the same time. I was thinking about all that while reading some Scriptures again, and honestly, it hit me harder this year. Maybe because life been kinda loud lately, or maybe because I’m tired of pretending everything always makes sense. But the Bible does this thing, right? It sneaks into the parts of your heart you thought you cleaned up, and suddenly you realize God is trying to talk to you again. Even if it feels like you weren’t exactly listening. S...

  Christmas Sermon – Commentary and Explanation (Verse by Verse Bible) Photo by  Toni Cuenca  on  Unsplash I still remember one Christmas morning from years back. It wasn’t fancy. No big tree, no expensive gifts. Just the smell of tea boiling in the kitchen, cold air sneaking in through a half-open window, and Luke chapter 2 open on my lap. Somehow that felt more like Christmas than all the lights and noise combined. Maybe because Christmas, at its core, is not loud. It arrives quietly. Like a baby cry in the dark. So this is not a polished sermon. It’s more like sitting together, Bible open, heart open, walking verse by verse through the Christmas story. Some thoughts wander, some sentences limp a bit. That’s okay. Faith is like that too. The Promise Before the Birth Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder…” Long before Bethlehem. Long before Mary felt those first pains. God already spok...

  Why Do Christians Celebrate Christmas?  A Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by Toni Cuenca on Unsplash Every year when December comes around, the air starts to change. Even before the decorations show up. You smell pine, dust mixed with old cardboard boxes pulled from storage, maybe cinnamon if someone nearby is baking. And somewhere in the background, a song about joy or bells or peace is playing, sometimes too loud, sometimes tinny from a phone speaker. Christmas. For Christians, Christmas isn’t just a holiday with lights and gifts and awkward family meals. It’s deeper, older, and also strangely tender. It’s about remembering a birth. But not just any birth. The birth of Jesus Christ. And yeah, the Bible doesn’t say “December 25th” anywhere. That part always comes up in debates. But Christians celebrate Christmas because of what happened, not only when it happened. Let’s walk through it slowly, verse by verse, thought by thought. Not rushed. Like a study ...

1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 – Commentary and Explanation (Verse by Verse Bible Study) Photo by  Aaron Burden  on  Unsplash I’ve been sitting with 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 for a while now. Like, actually sitting with it. Coffee gone cold. Fan humming in the background. Street noise drifting in and out. This chapter feels like Paul leaning back in his chair, looking at the church like a tired but loving father, saying, “Okay… before I go, there’s some things you really need to remember.” It’s not fancy theology. It’s everyday faith. Messy, practical, sometimes uncomfortable faith. And honestly, that’s what I love about it. So let’s walk through it slowly, verse by verse, not rushing. Not pretending we have it all together either. Verses 1–2 “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” Paul starts by basically saying, “You already know this.” And t...
