New Year is a time for Looking Behind and Looking Ahead
So today we want to look at last year and towards this next year.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear for auld lang syne.
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne
Written by Robert Burns - Scottish for days in the past.
The song is asking, what should be remembered and what should be forgotten?
We want to ask that today.
same slide below
What should we bring with us into 2022?
What should we leave behind in 2021?
I am going to share soem scriptures and some tings you can do to get ready for 2022.
It’s been a good year and a bad year for many of us.
The church has rebounded somewhat from COVID lock downs… We have survived IDA…
So we want to look at what we need to leave behind.
Here are three things we need to leave behind.
We should leave behind old history
Easier said than done.
How do you do that?
You do this spiritually.
If you do, God will get involved.
Something new - it doesn’t matter how bad of a year you had, God is doing a new thing.
God will make a way for us even when we don’t see it.
We don’t need to see it, we just need to believe it.
We want to have GrEAT Faith in 2022
We should leave behind old hurts
This is a process that God wants us to do.
In 2022, We want to do a better job this year of helping you walk through leaving behind past hurts.
Small groups… Living Free… relationships… We are clearing out some of our rooms here to set them up for small group studies for 2022.
We can also configure the big rooms for studies so we can keep a distance.
New creation is here.
God makes us right with himself through Jesus.
speaking Faith to you… Leave behind the history and the hurts and…
We should leave behind old habits
We all have old habits.
The bible is clear that we can move beyond these.
One of the best ways is by prayer and fasting.
We dedicate our year to God.
Fasting helps us to give God our first.
Loose chains - - Take the things that are habits in your life and break it off of you.
We all have old habits… food maybe that I don’t need to eat … things you are watching… too much news… too much politics…
A lot of the old is still attached to us, so we have to leave them behind.
You cannot go back and undo the past.
If you dwell on them constantly and don’t put your faith in with them, they will follow you into the new year.
Look at this…
I can’t go back and change the beginning but I can start where I am and change the ending
You need to hear that.
We can’t change the beginning but we can start right now and change the ending.
Start where you are.
God will work in you from where you are to take you to where he wants you to be.
This year can be a year of Great Faith
Looking ahead to the New Year
John Maxwell said…
Experience isn’t the best teacher
If it were, everyone with experience would be getting better.
Evaluated experience is the best teacher
You have to evaluate the experience to learn from it.
We all get experiences but we don’t always learn from them.
1.
As you review your year, and ask God to show you what he wants you to learn from those experiences, he will speak to you.
Scroll through your pics… look at your calendar.
I have been doing that this week and it’s been fun.
I had forgotten some things.
