A New Chapter of Hope, Joy, and Peace! Entering 2026 with confidence | Alan Scotland | Romans 15:13

Be uplifted this New Year, as Alan Scotland explores how a new year represents far more than the passing of time; it is a blank page and a spiritual invitation to experience God’s presence in a fresh way.
Drawing from Romans 15:13 and Deuteronomy 31:8, this message reminds us that we are never alone, for the Lord goes before us, stands beside us, and surrounds us with His active, sustaining presence.
Viewers will discover three divine gifts intended to shape the coming year: hope, which is a confident expectation anchored in God’s promises; peace, which acts as an inner government and ruling influence over our hearts; and joy, the spiritual strength that sustains us even when the journey is demanding. Through the example of Jesus on the cross, we learn that peace is not merely a feeling but a person—the Prince of Peace—who empowers us to extend light and comfort to others even in our own difficult seasons.
