Night of Worship

Main message: God is "making all things new" — that newness begins the moment we trust Christ and continues as he transforms us now, and will be completed when he returns. We live between the "already" of salvation and the "not yet" of Christ's coming, so we need community, prayer, and perseverance in hope.

Key points:

• God has done mighty deeds in the past and is doing a new work now (a "way maker" who makes paths in impossible places).
• Salvation is both an immediate new identity (conversion) and a future completion at Christ's return — the tension of "already" and "not yet."
• Sanctification is ongoing: God is transforming believers day by day and we should expect his work even when we don't see it.
• The church needs Christian community for encouragement, worship, and mutual support while we wait for the fullness of God's renewal.
• We should respond with gratitude, prayer, and confident hope in the promise that God will wipe away tears, end death and pain, and make all things new.

Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 77, Isaiah 43:15-19, Revelation 21 (new heaven and new earth)
