HOW TO MAKE 2026 THE BEST YEAR EVER

What if the secret to making this year truly transformative isn't found in better planning or stronger willpower, but in something as simple—and profound—as walking with God? This message takes us on a journey through Scripture to discover what it means to live in close fellowship with the Lord daily. We explore the lives of Adam and Eve, who walked with God in the cool of the evening until sin created separation, and Enoch, whose intimacy with God was so deep that he was taken directly to heaven without experiencing death. The heart of the message centers on Luke 24 and the road to Emmaus, where two discouraged disciples walked seven miles away from Jerusalem, not recognizing that the resurrected Jesus was walking right beside them. Their eyes were only opened when they invited Him to stay, broke bread together, and experienced true communion. This powerful story reveals a sobering truth: we can claim to follow Jesus yet fail to recognize His voice or presence in our daily lives if we're not intentionally walking with Him. The call is clear—walking with the Lord isn't about religious duty or checking boxes, but about intimate fellowship that opens our spiritual eyes, gives us stories to tell, and transforms ordinary days into encounters with the living God. When we prioritize this daily walk, reading His Word and listening for His voice, we position ourselves to make wise decisions at the right time and experience the abundant life He promises.
