data-path-to-node=\"5\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Dear Beloved Members of Hope Church,<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">God has given us the precious gift of the year 2026. As we open the door to this New Year, with what goals and resolutions are you beginning your journey?<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Today, we look to Joshua, who took on the momentous task of leading the people into Canaan following the great leader Moses. Although he held God&#8217;s clear promise, Joshua was still filled with fear. This fear did not stem from a lack of faith, but from the overwhelming weight of his mission\u2014the responsibility of leading God&#8217;s people into the Promised Land after a spiritual giant like Moses. He was acutely aware of the realistic threats of Canaan, the terrors of war, and the frailty of a people easily shaken. Standing before such immense responsibility, it was only natural for him to feel afraid.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">Yet, God spoke to Joshua repeatedly: <b data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"37\">\u201cBe strong and courageous. Do not be afraid.\u201d<\/b> The reason was simple: <b data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"106\">God Himself would be with him.<\/b> Because God would personally govern and lead this conquest, Joshua had no need to fear his circumstances.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Beloved, we also have no reason to fear or worry before the &#171;lands&#187; we must conquer this year\u2014whether they be our mission fields, our studies, or our workplaces. <b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"162\">For God is with us.<\/b> Furthermore, we need not fear because God has promised that if we meditate on His Word day and night and obey it, we will be prosperous. His purposes through us will surely be fulfilled.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-path-to-node=\"10\">\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0\"><i data-path-to-node=\"10,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">&#171;Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.&#187; (Joshua 1:9)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">To live as those who are strong and courageous regardless of our environment, I urge you to become <b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"99\">people of the Word.<\/b> Love God&#8217;s Word, read and meditate on it daily, and experience the blessing of prosperity through obedience. I know that reading the Bible and praying is not easy, for these are spiritual tasks. The Scriptures, written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, cannot be fully understood without His help. However, as we read and commune with the Lord under the guidance of the Spirit, we will surely experience spiritual grace and the reality of the living God. There are countless testimonies of those who, through consistent Bible reading, have witnessed God\u2019s amazing work in their finances, health, business, and relationships.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">If you spend just one hour a day, you can read through the entire Bible in 3 to 4 months. I pray that many of you will resolve to stand before the Word daily and listen to the voice of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Our theme for 2026 is &#171;A Church Rooted in the Word and Advancing in Prayer.&#187;<\/b> My earnest prayer is that every member of our church will be deeply rooted in God\u2019s Word this year, and that by obeying that Word and advancing in prayer, you will all enjoy the blessings of His divine prosperity.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">New

Dear Beloved Members of Hope Church, God has given us the precious gift of the year 2026. As we open the door to this New Year, with what goals and resolutions are you beginning your journey? Today, we look to Joshua, who took on the momentous task of leading the people into Canaan following the great leader Moses. Although he held God&#8217;s clear promise, Joshua was still filled with fear. This fear did not stem from a lack of faith, but from the overwhelming weight of his mission\u2014the responsibility of leading God&#8217;s people into the Promised Land after a spiritual giant like Moses. He was acutely aware of the realistic threats of Canaan, the terrors of war, and the frailty of a people easily shaken. Standing before such immense responsibility, it was only natural for him to feel afraid. Yet, God spoke to Joshua repeatedly: \u201cBe strong and courageous. Do not be afraid.\u201d The reason was simple: God Himself would be with him. Because God would personally govern and lead this conquest, Joshua had no need to fear his circumstances. Beloved, we also have no reason to fear or worry before the &#171;lands&#187; we must conquer this year\u2014whether they be our mission fields, our studies, or our workplaces. For God is with us. Furthermore, we need not fear because God has promised that if we meditate on His Word day and night and obey it, we will be prosperous. His purposes through us will surely be fulfilled. &#171;Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.&#187; (Joshua 1:9) To live as those who are strong and courageous regardless of our environment, I urge you to become people of the Word. Love God&#8217;s Word, read and meditate on it daily, and experience the blessing of prosperity through obedience. I know that reading the Bible and praying is not easy, for these are spiritual tasks. The Scriptures, written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, cannot be fully understood without His help. However, as we read and commune with the Lord under the guidance of the Spirit, we will surely experience spiritual grace and the reality of the living God. There are countless testimonies of those who, through consistent Bible reading, have witnessed God\u2019s amazing work in their finances, health, business, and relationships. If you spend just one hour a day, you can read through the entire Bible in 3 to 4 months. I pray that many of you will resolve to stand before the Word daily and listen to the voice of the Lord. Our theme for 2026 is &#171;A Church Rooted in the Word and Advancing in Prayer.&#187; My earnest prayer is that every member of our church will be deeply rooted in God\u2019s Word this year, and that by obeying that Word and advancing in prayer, you will all enjoy the blessings of His divine prosperity.
