Marriage is often less about having all the answers and more about choosing to walk side by side when the road ahead feels uncertain. Abram and Sarai trusted God enough to keep moving forward together, even when waiting became painful and hope felt delayed.

So often, we let our struggles define us—our past, our habits, our disappointments, or even our fears about the future. We get used to carrying what was never meant to be permanent. But Jesus steps into moments and reminds us who we really are: not bound, not forgotten, not beyond hope.

One of the most hopeful promises in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” That verse doesn’t say we become a better version of ourselves. It says we become new.

Happy New Year From Your Friends at New Hope Baptist Church Tunnel Hill

Merry Christmas From Your Friends at New Hope Baptist Church Tunnel Hill

When we truly unwrap Christmas, we see God. When we see God for who He really is, it changes our life. Isaiah sees the Lord “high and exalted,” the train of His robe filling the temple, angels calling, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” In that moment, Isaiah is completely undone. He sees God’s holiness and his own brokenness all at once. Christmas is that same holy God stepping into our broken world as a baby in a manger.

When life’s storms start pounding, do you ever wonder if what you’re standing on is strong enough to last?

Set Your Clocks Back Nov. 2nd

In 1 Peter 2:2, it says, “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”

Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

The promises in 2 Chronicles 7:14 remind us that when God’s people humble themselves, pray, and turn from their own way, the Lord hears and heals. It’s not about having it all together; it’s about coming as we are, open and honest before Him. Revival breathes fresh life into dusty souls and brings joy where there’s been heaviness.

This week at New Hope Tunnel Hill, we’re believing God for a fresh move as revival begins with Rev. Randy Postell. If you’re hungry for something real, longing to see God work in new ways, or just need your hope restored—this is for you! Come join us, expecting God to do what only He can.

“Caught up together” paints a powerful picture: believers swept up by God’s mighty hand, reunited across generations and borders, all coming face-to-face with the Lord. This isn’t just about escape; it’s about celebration—a forever reunion with Christ at the center.

Sometimes life weighs heavy and loss feels final—but God reminds us it isn’t the end of the story. Paul wrote that “the Lord himself will come down… and the dead in Christ will rise first.” What a powerful promise!

Sometimes God doesn’t erase the past—He brings new blessings that outshine the pain.

That means our gifts aren’t just random quirks—they’re tools meant for helping others and showing God’s love in real ways.

Have you ever felt stuck—waiting, praying, wondering if your story is ever going to move forward? Joseph knew that feeling. Genesis 40 finds him in prison, even though he’d done nothing wrong. He helps people—interprets the cupbearer's and baker’s dreams—and asks to be remembered, but he’s forgotten. Still stuck. Still waiting.

When life feels unfair and tough, God is still with us just as He was with Joseph in Genesis 39 which is a powerful reminder.
