Introduction:
I missed you guys.
Who here had a good holiday season?
I hope and pray it went well.
Who here made any New Year Resolutions?
By a show of hands, what were they.
I want to hear at least 3.
What is the point of a New Year Resolution?
The point is to reflect upon your past year, and look at things that you regret.
Things that you did wrong and that you can improve upon yourself.
Then you use this idea of a starting point to better yourself in areas you can control.
Is there something magical about a New Year?
No, but most people look forward to new years for the idea that they can start over.
Lots of people think that when the clock strikes midnight that they are going to magically become more disciplined, focused and accomplish more.
Lots of people think that when the clock strikes midnight that they are
This has led to the modern saying “New Year…New Me!!!
This is just a common sentiment.
People realize that in order to have success, they have to reinvent themselves.
Humans are desperately looking for this idea of “newness”
We are always looking for newness, because:
We have regrets.
Things didn’t go the way we wanted.
We ended up cutting corners and falling short from our expectations.
So we try and have New Years Resolutions to solve our failures.
This is our own attempt to fix this.
No, but most people look forward to new years for the idea that they can start over.
Lots of people think that when the clock strikes midnight that they are
Many people try every year, but fail.
The truth is that we fail at even keeping goals.
The interesting thing is that when failure happens, there is surprise.
We fail, because we are born to fail.
We are born with a sin nature.
This makes us already defective.
Our programming is wonky from day one.
This is because of our flesh and sinful nature.
Failure makes us want new things and new beginnings.
The more I mess up, the more I want a fresh start.
The more I realize I have not been living like I should, I want to start over.
Who here made any New Year Resolutions?
But, then the year starts and time flies by, and I keep living like how I did before.
What were they?, by a show of hands.
The
In order to get to heaven, you need to realize your failure and make a new resolution.
The whole point of the Bible is to help us realize that we are born with a spiritual disease called sin.
It means missing God’s will, mark, mold, etc. for my life.
This put us at enmity with God, and the consequence is eternal separation from His love and favor,
We now need to understand, that God loves us, and He has made a way to be reconciled to Him.
This comes through repentance.
Admitting that you are wrong.
Acknowledging that you have sinned and your need for Jesus.
Lots of people do not want to admit that they are wrong before God.
Their pride gets in the way, and makes this impossible, almost.
The first step to accept Christ is repentance.
Literally a change of mind, and attitude towards our mistakes and sin.
Then we can accept Jesus.
In doing so, God takes all of our past, present, and future mistakes and punished them on the cross with Jesus.
Jesus died in your place, and all of your sins.
Every lie, greed, selfishness, theft, evil thought, is buried and dead in the grave that Jesus resurrected from.
Now we are offered a new life…but it is so much more than that.

Ktisis: Creature/Creation:
You are now a different species.
A new creature or creation.
Think about what that means.
You are no longer what you think you are.
No longer just a human.
No longer just an animal.
You are a whole new class.
A whole new species.
Old things have passed away, and all things are new!
What a beautiful statement.
Not many more beautiful words have ever been said.
That is what this means.
Not hard to understand is it.
This is what the power of Christ will do for you.
What are these old things.
1 peter 3:
Many believers are made new, but living like their old self.
This is a shame because Christ paid the ultimate price so that we will not do those things anymore.
Alisa got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S9 for Christmas.
She was super excited for the latest technology and all that comes with it.
She has it for no more than a day, but it started to bug out.
She would open an app, but then the phone would randomly go to the lock screen or turn off.
It was very slow and random.
This is not what she was expecting, or what she ordered.
We then traded it in and the phone works better than expected.
We are like a phone that wonks out to God when we live like our old sinful selves.
