New Beginning

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

NIV

 

New year, new beginning?  Just as City Lights is a new church in downtown Fort Worth, is this the year for a new you?

Is your goal to lose weight?  Maybe to give up a bad habit or get out of debt or volunteer more? Maybe you’ve decided to give that forgiveness you’ve been withholding.  Or repair a burned relationship bridge. 

Do you have a plan of action?

1.      Join a gym

2.      Go to the gym

3.      Don’t give up

Where does Christ fit in your new beginning? 

We don’t need a calendar year to become new.  We are promised a new day, every single day, as long as we live in Christ. 

Make Christ a part of your game plan.  Put Christ first.  Through prayer and petition you can become the new that Christ desires you to be.

Lamentations 3:20-25 ²² Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  ²³ They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
