Press Pause Before Play encourages believers to intentionally pause at the end of the year to reflect, seek God’s wisdom, and realign their lives before moving forward. Using Israel’s journey from Exodus to Joshua, the message prepares people for three situations they may face: feeling trapped, facing a great opportunity, or being tested in their resolve.

In each case, God calls His people to pause, trust Him, obey His Word, and remember His faithfulness. The message concludes by pointing believers to the New Covenant in Christ and challenges them to examine their hearts, renew their commitment to serve the Lord, and step into the new year with intentional faith and obedience.
