SERMONS
Don't Stay in the Grave
The resurrection is not a metaphor, it is a history-splitting reality. In this message, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani shares three bold declarations from the empty tomb. Discover why the same power that defeated the grave lives inside you, and why it is time to throw off your reputation, step out of hiding, and live your faith out loud.
He is risen! Easter Sunday is not just another weekend service, nor is it merely a holiday to take a quick trip away. This is the monumental day that split time into two, conquered the grave, and fundamentally rewritten the history of human existence.
In this powerful finale to The Road to Resurrection series at All Nations Community Church, we step face-to-face with the reality of the empty tomb and discover exactly what it requires of our everyday Christian living.
Three Radical Resurrection Declarations
To move off the ground and step into the fullness of what Jesus purchased on the cross, we must anchor our lives on three historical declarations:
1. The Tomb is Empty The resurrection of Jesus is not a myth or a spiritual symbol inside our hearts. If it were a hallucination, 500 eyewitnesses would not have seen Him at the exact same moment (1 Corinthians 15:3-6). If it were a conspiracy, the disciples would never have gone to gruesome, agonizing deaths for something they knew to be false. Because the tomb is empty, the exact same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives inside you. Your dead dreams, your broken family lines, and your deepest shame can rise again.
2. Death is Broken On Good Friday, hell threw a celebration thinking it had won the ultimate victory. But when Sunday morning broke, death was utterly dismantled. Jesus did not just survive or postpone death; He destroyed its capacity. Colossians 2:15 tells us that He completely disarmed principalities and powers, breaking the spine of sin and making a public spectacle of hell. If you are on this faith journey with Him, sickness, anxiety, and fear do not own your future. Death is broken.
3. It’s Time to Get Up None of these historical truths matter if we choose to remain on the floor. Jesus did not leave the grave so that we could continue living like spiritual "secret agents." Many of us are loud and expressive for God in our cars or inside the church doors, but completely unnoticeable at our workplaces. Secret discipleship cannot save you. True faith must go public.
"Tomorrow is not in the Bible. Today is the day of resurrection... Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!"

The Death of Expectations
Palm Sunday is traditionally viewed as a celebration, but it is also a deep spiritual confrontation. In this message, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani unpacks how our fleshly desires can quietly transform a cry for help into a rigid demand. Discover why God often allows our personal expectations to die so that His resurrection power can truly live.
When we reflect on Palm Sunday, our minds instantly picture a vibrant celebration. We picture great crowds lining the streets of Jerusalem, waving palm branches, and enthusiastically shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" However, beneath the surface of the praises lay a complex web of human motives. Palm Sunday was not just a triumphal entry; it was a structural confrontation. In this second instalment of The Road to Resurrection series at All Nations Community Church, we examine how our hidden human agendas can distort our relationship with God, and why our personal assumptions must go to the grave if we want to experience true resurrection.
The Mystery of Bethany: From Misery to Glory
Before entering the gates of Jerusalem, Jesus deliberately chose to stay in a small, nearby village called Bethany. In the original language, Bethany is derived from two words: Beth (house) and Any (afflicted, poor, or miserable). It literally translates to The House of Misery.
It is incredibly profound that the King of Kings bypassed elite palaces and centres of luxury to reside among the broken. If you are currently navigating a season of intense trial, remember that Jesus is never intimidated by your misery. He welcomes it. Throughout our upcoming 7-day devotional series, we will discover how this house of misery consistently serves as a launching pad for His ultimate glory.
Three Crucial Lessons on Surrendering Control
To build deep spiritual maturity and allow God to do His finest work, we must evaluate three core areas where our human preferences naturally collide with God's sovereignty:
1. Trading a Quick Fix for True Transformation When Mary and Martha sent word that their brother Lazarus was dying, they expected a predictable, rapid healing. Instead, Jesus intentionally delayed His arrival and allowed their assumptions to die completely. Why? Because they only knew Him as a healer, but He wanted to reveal Himself as the Resurrection and the Life.
Often, we desperately cry out, "Lord, fix my marriage, fix my career, or fix my finances!" We look for a superficial, temporary adjustment. But Jesus rarely steps in just to alter the circumstances of our immediate faith journey; He steps in to transform our internal condition.
2. Releasing the King from Our Image The crowds in Jerusalem cheered because they had witnessed the raising of Lazarus and reasoned that a man with such power could effortlessly overthrow the oppressive Roman Empire. They wanted a military commander on a warhorse to fix a political system. Instead, Jesus arrived humbly on a young donkey, the biblical symbol of peace, humility, and servant leadership.
When life brings unexpected pain, we often default to redefining God in light of our personal disappointments. But God is never limited by our narrow timelines. He is not a genie in a bottle obligated to grant our wishes; He is a sovereign King committed to fulfilling His eternal purpose in our lives.
3. Allowing the Heart to be Cleansed Immediately following Sunday's celebration, Monday arrived, and Jesus walked straight into the temple to overturn the tables of the money changers. The religious system had reduced a living relationship with Yahweh into a transactional business format based on performance and rituals.
We fall into the exact same trap in our daily Christian living when we view our church attendance, giving, and ministry service as a formula to control God. When we treat our devotion as a contract, our praise quietly morphs into a demand. When God doesn't fit our neat expectations, disappointment turns into offence, offence hardens into bitterness, and we risk turning away from Him just like the crowd that shouted "Hosanna" on Sunday and "Crucify Him" on Friday.
"If God had healed Lazarus, they would have never seen a resurrection. Something has to die in order for God to raise up something brand new."
Stepping from Bios into Zoe
Jesus did not endure a brutal, undignified crucifixion simply to improve our physical, biological life (Bios). He laid down His life voluntarily to gift us with Zoe, the abundant, indestructible, eternal life of God.
It is time to step out of small thinking, stop managing your own reputation, and lay your silent frustrations at the altar. Let your human expectations die today so that His resurrection power can fully live in you.

Wake Up the Dead: From Bios to Zoe
Many Christians treat their faith like a minor tune-up or a cosmetic quick fix, accidentally masking their symptoms. In this opening message of a new Easter series, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani issues a radical wake-up call to the church. Discover the deep difference between biological existence and divine life, and explore the diagnostic tools needed to move from standard "Bios" into the overflowing reality of "Zoe."
We are officially stepping onto The Road to Resurrection—a dedicated sermon series building up to our major Easter and Good Friday weekend celebrations at All Nations Community Church.
However, a serious danger when beginning any new series is that it can easily become routine. This series is explicitly designed to function as a thorough spiritual diagnostic check. Much like taking a vehicle in for a mandatory check-up or attending a routine clinical assessment with a GP, we need to look far beneath our external behaviours to evaluate our true internal condition.
Treating the Source Rather Than the Symptom
When a warning light flashes on a car's dashboard, a driver can choose to pull over and let a specialist address the root cause, or simply slap a piece of tape over the indicator light and continue driving blindly down the motorway.
Unfortunately, many believers handle their personal faith journey exactly like that. They use their prayers to ask for minor behavioural modifications—treating immediate symptoms like a bad temper, an unstable marriage, or workplace frustration—while completely avoiding the primary core issues. They spend years attempting to patch up or polish what is fundamentally fractured. But you cannot naturally improve or remodel something that has lost its life. The only answer for structural deadness is a complete resurrection.
The Two Dimensions of Life
To understand this deep spiritual check-up, we must look at the two distinct Greek words translated as "life" within our English Bibles:
Bios (Biological Life): This represents our basic physical existence. It encompasses the things you can readily see, track, and measure: your physical health, age, breathing, career accomplishments, gym memberships, and bank balance. While Bios is an excellent gift from God that we are called to steward wisely, it is never the final destination of our faith.
Zoe (Divine Life): This is the uncreated, indestructible life of God Himself—the eternal, spirit-breathed reality. This is exactly what Jesus pointed to in John 10:10 when He declared, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." He was pointing directly to Zoe.
It is an uncomfortable truth of modern Christian living that a person can cultivate a highly impressive, flawless Bios on the outside while remaining entirely hollow on the inside. You can possess massive resources, theological credentials, and excellent church attendance, yet lack any authentic communion with your Heavenly Father.
The 4 'D's of Spiritual Assessment
To help us prepare for our upcoming seven days of prayer and fasting, Pastor Rasol outlines four specific stages that track the silent progression of spiritual decay:
1. Deadness: This is the ultimate spiritual condition. It means an individual has completely lost their appetite for God's Word, displays zero sensitivity to conviction, and remains entirely numb during anointed moments of worship.
2. Distortion: When Zoe life is absent, a person automatically defaults to following the patterns of the world, the influence of the enemy, and the immediate cravings of the flesh. Distortion makes an unaligned lifestyle feel entirely normal and reasonable.
3. Deception: Spiritual decline is exceptionally quiet. Deception convinces a person that they are completely fine simply because they follow religious traditions. Like the older brother in the parable of the Prodigal Son, they view their church service as a form of gruelling slavery rather than a joyful, intimate sonship.
4. Destiny: Apart from a rescue operation, heading down a distorted path leads directly to judgment. A holy God and a compromised heart cannot occupy the same space. This is the heavy news that ultimately makes the message of the cross so phenomenally good. The Gospel is not a self-improvement seminar; it is a dramatic rescue from real danger.
"Numbness is the waiting room to deadness. If you continue to ignore the warning signs, you will lose the capacity to move when the Spirit calls."
The Ultimate Shift: But God
If human history ended at our own rebellion, we would be entirely without hope. But Ephesians 2:4 breaks through our darkness with two of the most powerful words ever written: BUT GOD.
God is not stingy with His resources; He is profoundly rich in mercy. He did not wait for you to clean up your act or improve your choices before choosing to love you. While we were still dead, compromised, and running in the opposite direction, He stepped in to pull us out of danger.
Step Out of the Pot
Just like the famous illustration of a frog sitting comfortably in a pot of water as the heat is gradually turned up, deception causes us to get comfortable with compromise until our strength is completely gone.
It is time to shake off complacency, stop making excuses for your character flaws, and place your Kingdom first. Take your faith seriously as we head toward Easter. Grab a copy of our devotional guide and join our entire church family as we enter our seven days of fasting and prayer to realign our hearts under true spiritual guidance.

The Architect of Wisdom
A firm foundation is rarely seen—it is hidden in the ground, yet it holds everything together. In Week 3 of the Cornerstones of Legacy series, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani uncovers the hidden spiritual architecture of Bathsheba, the mother of King Solomon. Discover how God turns broken pasts into beautiful legacies, and learn the three practical keys to anchoring your family in divine wisdom.
When you look at a beautifully constructed building, you rarely stop to admire the foundation. Why? Because it is hidden beneath the dirt. Yet, it is the most critical component of the entire structure.
The exact same truth applies to our families. Mothers regularly lay the unseen, spiritual foundations that quiet the noise, hold the household together, and deliberately shape destinies.
In this third instalment of our Cornerstones of Legacy series at All Nations Community Church, we dive into the life of Bathsheba. While the world often remembers her only for the darkest, most scandalous moments of King David's reign, God used her broken past to orchestrate the golden age of Israel. Long before her son Solomon built the temple or authored the Book of Proverbs, Bathsheba acted as The Architect of Wisdom.
What is Biblical Wisdom?
True wisdom is not defined by a stellar IQ or a massive accumulation of natural facts. In a chaotic environment, biblical wisdom is a highly practical skill for living well in a broken world. True wisdom begins with a foundational reverence for God, meaning it is entirely determined by whose voice you choose to trust the most.
Three Pillars of a Wise Architect
Pastor Rasol highlights three tactical markers from Bathsheba's story that every parent must adopt to anchor their children's future:
1. Wisdom Steps Into Tension: When a political coup threatened to rob Solomon of his promised future, Bathsheba didn't complain or wait for a passive solution. She bravely stepped straight into the king's quarters to confront the crisis. Today, we must actively step into the tensions our kids face. Have the awkward conversations, monitor their technology use, and actively correct destructive habits before today's avoided boundaries become tomorrow's crisis.
2. Wisdom Secures the Promise: Bathsheba didn't use manipulation or emotional arguments; she simply reminded the king of the vow he made before God. True spiritual guidance means anchoring your household to what God has already declared. Your children are a sacred reward from heaven—fight for their destiny in prayer, knowing that their current rebellion is never the final chapter of their story.
3. Wisdom Stabilises the Future: Solomon grew up watching his mother step into tension with raw courage and handle crisis with unshakeable faith. Because wisdom is caught far more than it is taught, Solomon naturally asked God for a discerning heart rather than wealth or military victory. We are building foundations that will outlast us.
"Wisdom doesn't come from having all the answers; it often comes from the scars we carry and the faithfulness of the God who healed them."
Stop Trying and Start Surrendering
You cannot stabilise a shaky life or a broken family in your own strength. If you are exhausted from trying to fix your circumstances with worldly intellect, Jesus invites you to drop the heavy burdens. He is the ultimate architecture of wisdom, and He meets us exactly as we are.

The Architect of Protection
Long before Moses parted the Red Sea, a mother built an unseen architectural foundation that saved his life. In this series opener, Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani unpacks the story of Jochebed. Discover the three strategic keys to value, boundary, and surrender, and learn how to secure your family's destiny in a hostile world.
When we evaluate a great building, we rarely stop to praise the foundation. Why? Because it is hidden underground. Yet, if a foundational cornerstone is even one millimetre out of alignment, the entire structure will eventually lean and collapse.
The same structural truth applies to our families. Ahead of Mother's Day, we are launching our new series, Cornerstones of Legacy, to honour the unseen, spiritual foundations laid by women in the Bible that quietly hold families together and shape eternal destinies.
When you think of the book of Exodus, the name Moses instantly comes to mind. But before Moses ever faced the burning bush or confronted Pharaoh, a mother built a foundation of safety first. Her name was Jochebed, and she was the Architect of Protection.
Living in an Atmosphere of Fear
Jochebed faced a terrifying cultural landscape. Generations had passed since the era of Joseph, and a new Pharaoh had risen, ruling through fear. And because fear always leads to cruelty, Pharaoh implemented an aggressive three-part strategy to suppress the growing Hebrew population: harsh structural slavery, corporate infanticide through the midwives, and finally, a decree that every newborn boy must be thrown into the Nile River.
The Nile, the very source of life for Egypt, had been transformed into a graveyard. It was in this exact atmosphere of death that Jochebed gave birth.
The 3 'S's of Spiritual Architecture
To protect what God has placed in your hands, you must employ Jochebed's blueprint:
1. Seeing the Potential (Tov): Scripture says Jochebed looked at her son and saw that he was "beautiful." In the original Hebrew text, the word used is Tov, the exact same word God used in Genesis when He created the world and declared it "good." Jochebed didn't just see a cute baby; she recognised the goodness and destiny of God resting on his life. You cannot protect what you do not value. Stop accepting the labels the world places on your children, and start viewing them as God's masterpieces.
2. Sealing the Boundaries: When Moses grew too old to hide, Jochebed constructed a papyrus basket (Tiba—the identical word used for Noah's Ark). She didn't just build a basket; she built a vessel of salvation, coating it with tar and pitch to ensure the Nile's toxic waters couldn't leak in. In our daily Christian living, we must seal the boundaries of our homes. Apply the sealant of prayer and active presence to guard your children against peer pressure, social media manipulation, and worldly values.
3. Surrendering the Plans: There comes a "reed's moment" for every parent where control ends, and surrender begins. Jochebed physically let go of the basket, placing it strategically among the reeds. When you execute everything within your human power and obediently release what is precious to you into God's hands, spiritual guidance takes over. God ultimately used Pharaoh's own treasury to pay Jochebed to nurse her own child.
"The structural tensions you avoid confronting today will transform into the painful crises you must face tomorrow. Seal the boundaries early."
Identify Your Basket
This historical principle extends far beyond parenting. Whether your "basket" is a child, a struggling career, a health battle, or a buried dream floating in dangerous waters, you cannot preserve it in your own strength. Stop trying to patch the cracks with good deeds and self-help formulas. Bring your burdens to the altar, put the Kingdom first, and watch our extraordinary God transform your crisis into a beautiful legacy.

Arise, Mighty Ones
In the third week of our prayer and fasting series, Pastor Ras calls the church to prepare for spiritual battle. Discover three vital commands to get clean, get armed, and get bold as we take back territory for God's Kingdom.
Welcome to Week 3 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting! This Sunday, Pastor Ras brought an incredibly vulnerable and stirring message titled “Arise, Mighty Ones.” Drawing from Joel 3, we are reminded that God is not just raising up a priesthood; He is building an army to take back territory for His Kingdom. But before we can fight the enemy, we must first prepare ourselves.
Pastor Ras unpacks three powerful commands for the church in 2026: Get clean, get armed, and get bold. To ‘prepare for war’ spiritually means to sanctify ourselves—cutting off compromise, ‘burning our ships,’ and fully committing to God without the fear of missing out. We are then challenged to repurpose our everyday lives, turning our smartphones into tools for the gospel and our daily commutes into prayer rooms. Finally, Pastor Ras shares a deeply personal testimony about facing physical weakness, reminding us that true faith is choosing to say, “I am strong,” not because of how we feel, but because of who lives within us.

Wake Up, Church
In this powerful message from our 21 days of prayer and fasting, Pastor Ras challenges us to shake off spiritual slumber and keep our passion for God burning bright. Discover how making three vital commitments for 2026 can reignite your faith and prepare you for the great things God has in store.
Welcome to the first week of our 21 days of prayer and fasting! As we begin 2026, many of us are setting resolutions, but what about our spiritual lives? In this stirring message titled “Wake Up, Church,” Pastor Ras reminds us that God is calling His people to awaken, consecrate themselves, and prepare for the great things He is doing in our midst.
Drawing from Ephesians 5 and Leviticus 6, we see a powerful connection: just as a watchman cannot protect the city whilst asleep, a priest cannot keep the altar fire burning if they doze off. God graciously provides the spark through His Holy Spirit, but it is our personal responsibility to gather the wood and tend to the flame. It is all too easy to slip into spiritual autopilot, coasting through our routines without a genuine, deep hunger for God’s presence.
If you are feeling spiritually numb or distracted by life's busyness, this message is a call to draw a line in the sand. We are challenged to make three vital declarations for this year: no more sleeping, no more excuses, and no more compromise.
Watch the full sermon or listen to the podcast below to hear these powerful insights and reignite your fire for God today.
Keep Moving Forward
Life has a way of knocking us down, but God never leaves us where we fell. In this message, Pastor Ras reminds us that victory begins in our minds and continues as we choose to look ahead with faith, learn from our struggles, and live with a mission focus. No matter what has happened, you can keep moving forward in Christ.
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
There are moments in life when we feel stuck, weighed down by past mistakes or slowed by pressures that seem too heavy to carry. Yet the truth of Scripture calls us to something greater. In this uplifting message titled Keep Moving Forward, Pastor Ras helps us see that victory begins with the mindset we choose. From declaring our God-given identity to standing firm under pressure, every step of faith shapes the way we run our race.
Drawing from Philippians 3:13 to 14, we are reminded that God has called each of us to press on. We do not move forward because life is easy, but because Christ walks beside us. Through powerful illustrations, honest encouragement, and strong biblical teaching, this message helps us look ahead with faith, learn from our setbacks, and live with a clear sense of mission.
If you feel delayed, discouraged, or unsure of your next step, let this word strengthen your confidence in the God who carries you.

I Won’t Bow to Pressure
Pressure is unavoidable, but bowing is optional. In this powerful message, Pastor Ras reminds us that no matter what life throws our way, we can stand firm through faith, choose joy under fire, and find refuge in the presence of Jesus.
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
This week, we continued our Victory Mindset series with a message titled “I Won’t Bow to Pressure.” Life can be full of challenges, financial, emotional, relational, or spiritual, but as believers, we don’t have to be crushed by them. Pressure is unavoidable, but bowing to it is optional.
Psalm 84 reminds us that even in the “Valley of Weeping,” God turns our trials into springs of blessing. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we can stand tall in the fire knowing Jesus stands with us. Like Paul and Silas, we can lift our praise even in chains and watch heaven move on our behalf.
When you refuse to bow to fear, anxiety, or the weight of the world, you make room for God’s presence and power to fill your life. Be encouraged: your melody can become your miracle.
Say it with me: “I won’t bow to pressure, I bow to Jesus!”

I’m Done With Defeat
Too many believers are living like prisoners when Christ has already won the battle. In this opening message of the Victory Mindset series, Pastor Ras draws a clear line in the sand and calls us to say, “I’m done with defeat,” and start living from the victory Jesus has secured. Discover how to break free from limiting thoughts, silence the lies of the enemy, and walk as more than a conqueror.
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
In this powerful first message of our Victory Mindset series, Pastor Ras calls us to make a clear decision in our hearts. Many of us love Jesus, yet still think, feel, and live as if we are losing. The enemy wages war in our minds with fear, shame, comparison, and negative scripts that say we will never change. Using Romans 8:35–37, we are reminded that in Christ, we are not fighting for victory; we are standing in victory.
This message helps us to recognise the “two coaches” speaking into our thoughts, the Holy Spirit who leads us into truth and freedom, and the enemy who lies, accuses, and pushes us toward defeat. Pastor Ras shows that defeat does not begin with our circumstances; it begins with what we agree with in our minds. As we choose to declare our God-given identity, disarm every lie with the Word, and decide to move forward in faith, we step into the freedom Jesus has already purchased for us. This is not just a phrase, it is a decision: I’m done with defeat.

Use What You Have
You are not here by accident. God has placed gifts, opportunity, influence and calling in you, and He is asking you to use what you already have, right now, for His glory. This message breaks the lie that only “church work” is spiritual and calls you to live with excellence, boldness, and purpose in every part of life.
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
Welcome, friends. This message is the final part of our series, Use What You Have. We have learned that we were formed from the dust, but we were filled with destiny. God breathed His life into us, and He placed gifts in us. Not just for Sundays in church, but for every day of our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Ras challenges the idea that some things are “spiritual” and some things are “just normal life.” Your job, your studies, your business, your parenting, your conversations, even the way you send an email, it all matters to God. You carry the presence of God into your workplace, your classroom, your home and your community.
We also hear a strong call to excellence. Excellence is not about showing off, it is about honouring Jesus with all your heart in whatever He has trusted you with. Finally, you are asked a simple question, “What is in your hand?” God can use what you have, right now, to influence others and change lives.
Do not wait for perfect. Start with what He has already given you.

Unleash Your Flame
God has placed a unique gift inside of you—a flame waiting to be fanned to life. But the moment you start to use it, opposition will come. Discover how to fight the spirit of fear and walk in the freedom and authority Jesus died to give you.
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
Welcome, friends. We're so glad to continue our series, Use What You Have, with this powerful message from Pastor Ras. Building on last week's foundation that we are all uniquely formed and filled by God, this week delves into the dynamic life that follows when we choose to activate what He has placed within us.
Many of us sense a calling or a 'spark' of a gift, but so often, it's met with a wave of fear, doubt, or intimidation. We feel unequipped or too afraid to step out. If that resonates with you, this message is your divine encouragement. Pastor Ras offers a stirring and timely reminder that your gifts are not meant to remain dormant. They are your flame to tend, and your authority in Christ is the key to unleashing them upon the world.
We pray this message inspires you to fan your flame and walk boldly in the authority Jesus has given you.

Ordinary Dirt, Extraordinary Go
Do you ever feel too ordinary, too flawed, or too ill-equipped for God’s purposes? Be encouraged. This powerful message reveals that God specialises in using our humble beginnings and weaknesses as the very materials for His extraordinary work. You are not an accident; you are a vessel of divine purpose. Sermon by Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani
Welcome to All Nations Community Church!
Welcome, friends. We are so excited to begin this powerful new series, "Use What You Have," with a foundational message from Pastor Ras titled "Ordinary Dirt, Extraordinary God." So many of us sit on the gifts God has given us, waiting for the perfect conditions or for us to feel ‘ready’. But what if God wants to use exactly what you have right now?
This sermon is a beautiful and humbling reminder that our value does not come from our own polish or perfection, but from the breath of our Creator. You were not formed by accident, but by the intentional, loving hands of God, and He has a magnificent purpose for your life. If you’ve ever felt inadequate or overlooked, this message will reawaken your spirit to the incredible treasure you carry.
We pray this message has encouraged you to see yourself and the gifts God has given you in a new, hopeful light.
