In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, Pastor Todd Mullins, senior pastor of Christ Fellowship Church in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, delivered a timely message titled “This is Your Year,” urging believers to embrace God’s purpose and promises with renewed faith and boldness. Mullins explains that 2025 is not just another year but a God-appointed season for breakthrough and transformation.
“This is your year to step into all that God has for you,” Mullins declared to the congregation. “God’s plans for your life haven’t changed, even if your circumstances have. You need to hold onto His promises and step out in faith.”

Drawing inspiration from the story of Joshua leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, Mullins emphasized the importance of taking action. “God told Joshua, ‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go’ (Josh. 1:9). That promise is not just for Joshua; it’s for you too. God’s presence is with you as you face the challenges ahead.”
Mullins highlighted three key steps to make 2025 a year of spiritual and personal growth:
1. Claim God’s Promises: “There are over 7,000 promises in the Bible,” Mullins reminded his audience. “But a promise is only as powerful as your willingness to believe it and act on it. Are you willing to take God at His word this year?”
2. Take Bold Steps of Faith: Reflecting on the Israelites crossing the Jordan River, Mullins explained, “The waters didn’t part until the priests stepped into the river. Some of you are waiting for the waters to part, but God is waiting for you to take the first step.”
3. Rely on God’s Strength: “Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but remember what Paul wrote in Philippians 4:13: ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ Your strength comes from Him, not your own abilities.”
/**/The sermon also touched on the power of surrendering our will to God. “Sometimes, we’re holding onto things that keep us from stepping into God’s best,” Mullins said. “This is your year to let go of fear, doubt and anything that’s holding you back.”
Pastor Mullins closed his message with an invitation for Christians to take some time for personal reflection and commitment. “What if this year wasn’t just about surviving but thriving? What if you decided to trust God fully, to walk by faith and to embrace the future He has for you? This is your year to see His faithfulness like never before.”
Christians around the world can be inspired by this call to action and reassured by the reminder of God’s unwavering presence. For those yearning for renewal and purpose, it is essential that we remember God’s promises are steadfast, and this year could indeed be the year of transformation if we dare to believe and take that first step of faith.
