In this message, Dr. Carroll Marr explores the "reset button" offered to us through the Gospel. Drawing from the book of Micah—a prophet speaking in a time of national decline and personal darkness—Dr. Marr reveals how we can live fully in the present while looking toward the future with expectant hope. Whether you are struggling with the weight of past failures, facing the uncertainty of a new year, or battling with mental health and anxiety, this sermon provides a three-step biblical foundation to find your footing: Watch for the Plan of God: Choosing to fix our eyes on Jesus rather than the "wind and waves" of our circumstances. Wait for the Presence of God: Understanding that waiting isn't weakness; it’s an act of worship and trust. Win in the Power of God: Recognizing that while we may fall, we are not finished. God’s grace is the light that leads us out of the darkness. Join us as we learn to say with the prophet Micah: "Though I fall, I will rise; though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me."
