Summary
This final service of the year is a time to look back and give thanks. Across 52 Sundays and many weeknight gatherings God spoke, taught, and led His people, so the call now is not only to count blessings but to remember the revelations He gave and ask honestly whether we obeyed them. Seek His kingdom first, the preacher reminds us, and He will supply all that we need.
The main message centers on the words 'Let it be according to Your word'. Brother Vasyl points to Noah, who did everything God commanded, and to Mary, who answered, 'Let it be to me according to Your word'. The ark's door was shut by God Himself and those outside were lost, but in Christ the door of salvation now stands open to everyone who believes. The greatest event in history is not a landing on the moon but the coming of the Savior, and we step into 2026 trusting that God will be with us, guard us, and bless us as He promised.
The evening overflows with thanksgiving and testimony. Believers recount healing after a failed surgery, deliverance from a dangerous infection, rescue from an allergic crisis, and one man's dramatic conversion 52 years ago that began with a New Year's encounter and a prophetic word. Trials reorder our priorities, they testify, and in every situation God is teaching us, holding our right hand, and proving Himself faithful.

Devotional
As one year closes and another opens, pause and let your heart answer God the way Mary did: 'Let it be to me according to Your word'. Look back not only on the gifts you can count but on the things God asked of you, and ask honestly whether you have obeyed. The door He once shut on the ark He has thrown wide open in Christ, so there is no fear in surrendering your unknown future to Him. Whatever the new year holds, He has promised to walk beside you, hold your right hand, and supply all you need. Cross the threshold in trust, not in anxiety.
