Isaiah 43:18-21
The new year is here! Every year we get excited because of the newness
of the Year. New beginnings! We pledge to make this the best year ever.
We start our new gym membership because we want a new look to go with
the new year. We start eating better. We pledge to cook at home and not
eat fast food. We stop trash talking. We become mindful of the language
we use before speaking.
Then the gym starts to interfere with other things we would rather do.
Our eating habits start to slip when we see that double chocolate cake. Fast food is quick and convenient.
We start trash talking when the first person disagrees with us.
St John Chrysostom quoted
"When we once begin to form good resolutions, God gives us every opportunity of carrying them out."
DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?
Pastor Hamilton started this New Year with a message titled "Let's Do Something New."
In Isaiah 43:18, The deliverance of the nation in the past will not compare to the future deliverance God will give His people.
God want to show His people that no other god can compare to Him. God
will get the praise that is due to Him by His chosen people.
Now that you know that you are chosen, How are you giving God a New praise?
What is new in your life since you got saved? Are you still doing the same thing?
It is hard for us to move on from our past because we like hanging on to
stuff. We need to let go of stuff and allow God to work things out for
us.
Pastor's Points:
Turn the page on your past
Tear down your blessing blockers
Thank God for his grace
Which point has touched your heart to
DO SOMETHING NEW.
We want to hear from you!!!
