Set Your Goal
What is your goal this year?
Build muscle, Lose weight, Learn a new language, Read more of the Bible?
Is your goal realistic and within reach?
Paul tells us as he writes to the Romans, “do not be conformed to the patterns of this world...”
The world is chasing self-promotion, self gratification - after all, if it makes me feel good then it must be okay, right?
WRONG
When you measure your goals against a human standard, you will never be satisfied with your achievement.
Human standards constantly move because humans are not perfect and humans fail every day.
When we set our goals in alignment with God’s standard, we end up with something worth reaching.
That’s why it says in Romans, God’s will is pleasing and perfect.
Let Go, Be Lifted Up
One of the biggest things people like to do in the new year is get organized!
We need a good purging in our lives.
Here’s a list of some items we can purge to get our lives cleaned up:
Old Magazines
Receipts, Bills, Documents
Clothes
Bills & Documents Clothes Books Medicine and Vitamins Makeup & Perfume Jewelry Food Some Memorabilia Notebooks Old or Unused Electronics
Documents Clothes Books Medicine and Vitamins Makeup & Perfume Jewelry Food Some Memorabilia Notebooks Old or Unused Electronics
Books
Medicine and Vitamins
Makeup & Perfume
Jewelry
Food
Some Memorabilia
Notebooks
Old or Unused Electronics
Just like the physical stuff in our rooms and closets need to go, there spiritual junk we carry around that needs to go once and for all.
Great Cloud of Witness
Look around, you’re surrounded by some great people
Lay aside the weight
What is weighing you down tonight?
rough home life, going back to school, tough relationship with girlfriend/boyfriend
What is keeping you up at night?
We are told here to lay it aside, as in we put the weight/burden we are carrying out of our sight.
Stop tripping over the offences of 2017!
Lay aside clingy sins
Sin sucks!
I really don’t like sin, but yet my body loves it.
I’m so conflicted, because my soul and spirit despise sin, yet my body craves it.
What really makes me mad, is that sin feels good for a moment, and then hits you with the consequences.
Look at how Paul describes sin…CLINGY
No matter how far you run from it, it always seems to be right next to you, waiting around the next corner.
But it is possible to live in the world and not fall to sin…it’s hard but not impossible.
How to run the race of endurance
Look to Jesus (point up)
WHY?
Because he is the founder and perfecter of our faith
Jesus is the ultimate example of what it means to give up something for a greater reward.
Jesus is motivated by His love for us so much so that He laid down His own life so that you and I could have life!
The Abundant Life
You may have been completely trampled on in 2017, but I have to remind you of the obvious, YOU’RE STILL HERE.
You might looks beat down on the outside but you are alive on the inside:
Walk it Out
Col 3:1
