HOW TO HAVE A NEW DAY
EDDIE O’HARE — ATTORNY IN ST. LOUIS
VERY SUCCESSFUL — PATENT DOG TRACK RABBIT — DIVORCE MOVED TO CHICAGO — EASY EDDIE OHARE — AL CAPONE — WORKED WITH THE MOB — NOTICED HIS SON WAS GETTING IN TROUBLE — SHIPPED SON OFF TO MILITARY SCHOOL — SON REACHED OUT ABOUT SUCCESS WANTS TO GET INTO NAVY — REALIZED HE WAS A BAD EXAMPLE FOR HIS SON — HE CALLED FRIEND IN MEDIA AND GAVE OVER EVIDENCE AGAINST AL CAPONE — THAT’S WHY CAPONE WENT TO PRISON — HE KNEW IT WOULD BE HIS END — GUNNED DOWN — AT LEAST MY CHILDREN KNOW I DID GOOD
IS IT TIME FOR A NEW DAY FOR YOU? — Maybe you have wanted change in your life
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT SAYS NEW IN THE BIBLE? — SOOO MANY
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
GOD REALLY WANT’S THIS FOR YOU — HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE YOUR LIFE IS GROUNDHOG DAY? THE CHANGE ISN’T A NEW DAY… IT’S GOTTA BE A NEW YOU
THE BEST WAY TO HAVE A NEW DAY IS A NEW YOU
YOU GET FRESH MERCY EVERY DAY, SO PUT THE PAST BEHIND YOU
22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. 23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
TODAY IS A NEW DAY! GET EXCITED!
IF YOU CARRY GUILT, AFTER KNOWING JESUS, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THE CROSS ISN’T ENOUGH
PRAY IN A NEW WAY SO YOU CAN HEAR GOD IN A NEW WAY
GO BEYOND PRAYING FOR YOUR FOOD — SPICE THINGS UP — PRAY FOR GOD TO GIVE YOU FRESH VISION FOR YOUR LIFE — WRITE OUT EVERYTHING YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR
THANKFUL FOR YOUR NATION — YOUR FREEDOM — NOT THANKFUL MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEAVE AND THEN COME BACK AND SEE HOW THANKFUL YOU ARE
SOMETIMES I WILL WALK AND PRAY
PRAY YOUR ABC’S
YOUR MARRIAGE IS THE SAME WAY — YOU GOTTA SPICE IT UP — CHANGE THINGS UP
ALLOW GOD TO RENEW YOUR MIND
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!
THE BEST WAY TO GET THROUGH HARD TIMES IS TO LET YOURSELF BE CHANGED IN THE MIDDLE OF IT — NOTHING MAKES YOU GO TO GOD LIKE A PROBLEM
GAIN NEW KNOWLEDGE
8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. 10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
COULD YOU BE ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION AWAY FROM YOUR MARRIAGE CHANGING? LIFE CHANGING? — A LOT OF US HAVE THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS FOR YEARS AND WE TRY THE SAME OLD THINGS TO FIX IT
9 History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.
SOMEONE HAS ALREADY DONE WHAT YOU WANNA DO AND BEEN WHERE YOU WANNA GO — FIND THEM, ASK THEM, MIMIC THEM.
SOMEONE OF YOU NEED NEW FRIENDS… YOU OLD FRIENDS MAY NOT GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BE — I GAVE UP A LOT OF FRIENDS — IT’S OKAY TO EMBRACE A NEW SEASON — IF YOU KEEP HOLDING ON YOU WILL MISS YOUR FUTURE
PUT ON YOUR EYES OF FAITH TO SEE NEW IDEAS AND OPPORTUNITIES
18 “But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. 19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
A LOT OF TIMES THE SOLUTION IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US — WE SEE IT AS A PROBLEM AND GOD SEE’S IT AS “YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I CAN DO” — SEE YOUR PROBLEM AS AN OPPORTUNITY — THAT HURDLE IS A CHANCE TO GROW
MOM STORY — NOTHING WOULD PHASE CODY — GROUNDED, TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY, HE’D IMPROVISE AND BE FINE
TO GAIN MOMENTUM YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NEW WHILE BUILDING ON SOMETHING OLD
Jeremiah 31:31–34 (The Message)
31 “The time is coming when I will make a brand-new covenant with Israel and Judah. 32 It won’t be a repeat of the covenant I made with their ancestors...33 “This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes. I will put my law within them—write it on their hearts!—and be their God. And they will be my people. 34 They will no longer go around setting up schools to teach each other about God. They’ll know me firsthand... I’ll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I’ll forget they ever sinned!” God’s Decree.
NOT THROWING OUT THESE PEOPLE THAT MADE MISTAKES — BUILDING SOMETHING NEW
IF I GET A NEW MARRIAGE IT WILL BE BETTER — NO BUILD SOMETHING NEW ON THIS OLD MARRIAGE — DON’T START OVER, ADD SOMETHING NEW

As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.”
And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant* between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.
