A New Year’s Challenge – January 7, 2018

1. A New Attitude For The New Year

Choosing Your Attitude Will Have a Greater Impact on the New Year Than You Think

Proverbs 16:3

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Here’s your Action Plan:

• Choose your attitude.
• Choose to take responsibility for your attitude and the impact it has on your life.
• Choose to focus on those aspects of your life over which you have some control.
• Choose friendships.
• Choose to dwell on positive things.

(“Whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, think on those things”; Philippians 4: 8).

• Choose to make changes.

2. A Year Of New Beginnings

Through His grace and mercy, God has promised us a new beginning that will endure for eternity…

John 10:10 “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

2Co 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

The good news is that God says, “I want to do something new in your life.

I want to give you a FRESH START, A NEW BEGINNING.”

1. God takes us to places of dependence, then creates new beginnings, new blessings.
2. He makes all things new.

When we come to Christ, we become a new creation. All things become new.

3. God is a creator.

He makes new things; He is not in the box we try to place Him in.

He can do in your life what you have never seen done before.

God is only getting started!

A New Vision For The New Year

Job 8:7 

And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.

Step 1: Quit making excuses.

It is always too soon to quit.

Bible tells us to quit making excuses, admit when it’s our fault and get on with life.

Step 2: Act in faith!

New beginnings come to those who step out in faith.

To change anything in your life by the power of God takes faith. (Matt 9:29)

Mat 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
