Part of OneVoice27 · Jesus Makes All Things New
Made New in Kissimmee
Jesus makes all things new
said in English, and in every language our church speaks
We are one church from many countries, and we know what it means to need hope, community, and a new beginning. This year we are sharing what Jesus has made new in our own lives, and inviting our neighbors to find out for themselves.
332days until September 2027, when Adventists in every nation proclaim Jesus together: 2,000 years since He stepped into the Jordan.

Stories from our church

Day 1 of 7
Jesus sees you
Read Luke 19:1-10 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.”Luke 19:5
Zacchaeus was a man his whole town had written off. Jesus stopped under his tree, called him by name, and asked to come to dinner before Zacchaeus had changed a single thing. Being seen came first. The new life followed.
TodayTell God, in your own words, how you actually are today. No polishing.
Go deeperThe Desire of Ages, chapter 61, “Zacchaeus”
Day 2 of 7
Rest for the weary
Read Matthew 11:28-30 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”Matthew 11:28
Jesus never says “try harder.” He says “come.” Rest here is not a reward for finishing; it is where He asks you to start.
TodayPut the phone face down for five minutes. Read the passage twice, slowly, and notice which word stays with you.
Go deeperThe Desire of Ages, chapter 34, “The Invitation”
Day 3 of 7
A new beginning
Read John 3:1-8 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”2 Corinthians 5:17
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, with his questions and his reputation intact. Jesus told him new life is not self-improvement; it is something God does in a person, like birth, like wind. You cannot manufacture it. You can ask for it.
TodayName one thing in your life you would hand to Jesus to make new. Say it out loud.
Go deeperThe Desire of Ages, chapter 17, “Nicodemus”
Day 4 of 7
Learning to pray
Read Luke 11:1-4 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“Lord, teach us to pray.”Luke 11:1
The disciples had watched Jesus pray and realized they did not know how. He did not hand them a technique. He gave them words simple enough for a child. Prayer is a conversation, and you are allowed to start badly.
TodayPray the Lord’s Prayer one line at a time, pausing after each line to put it in your own words.
Go deeperThoughts From the Mount of Blessing, chapter 5, “The Lord’s Prayer”
Day 5 of 7
You are not alone
Read Matthew 28:16-20 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”Matthew 28:20
Matthew’s account of Jesus’ last words to His friends ends not with an instruction but with a promise of company. Loneliness is one of the heaviest things about a new city or a hard season, and He speaks to it directly.
TodayText or call one person you trust today and tell them one true thing about how you are.
Go deeperThe Desire of Ages, chapter 86, “Go Teach All Nations”
Day 6 of 7
Hope that heals
Read Psalm 147:1-6 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”Psalm 147:3
God describes Himself as someone who bandages. Healing in the Bible is rarely instant; it is tended. And people who are being healed tend to become healers.
TodayDo one kind thing today for someone who did not ask for it.
Go deeperThe Desire of Ages, chapter 27, “Thou Canst Make Me Clean”
Day 7 of 7
Your next step
Read Revelation 21:1-7; Acts 2:42-47 in any Bible, or in a free Bible app. Then:
“Behold, I make all things new.”Revelation 21:5
The last book of the Bible ends with a promise, not a threat: God making everything new, including you. The first Christians took their next step together. They learned, they ate together, they prayed, and they looked after each other. That is what our church is trying to be.
TodayChoose one: ask a question, ask for prayer, or meet someone from our church.
