Today, we look at the topic of the New Year. The New Year brings a feeling of newness, of a fresh start. Many of you will make Resolutions for the New Year, something that you want to change about yourself. Paul teaches in many places throughout his New Testament letters that we must put on the new man, and take off the old. It symbolizes removing our sin nature and past sins, and walking forward to our new life with Christ.

In the year 2025, will you join me as I desire to become more Christ-like. It means that I am going to get serious about my faith, and work on developing an intimate relationship with Jesus. What are some things we can expect to happen when we do this? One thing is to be ridiculed. To be made fun of. Listen in as I talk on this topic.

Various verses. Paul was willing to forgo everything that made up his pedigree for the sake of Jesus. The religious leaders of Jesus’ time loved the praise of men rather than God. Which is more like the way you live your life?

Luke 2:1-20, a reading of the Christmas story, with a challenge thrown in.

Acts 10. We see, in this chapter, the Gospel being presented to the Gentiles by Peter. Peter could have stood by his religious rules and not went to the gentile, but he obeyed what God had told him to do. We have people today who we are withholding the Gospel from, people we feel we should not associate with. When are we going to realize that the command to go and make disciples means of all people? Who are you withholding the Gospel from?

Various verses. Today I teach on the topic of oppression.

Various verses. Today, we study about chains and the bondage they create. Many of us either were, or still are in bondage today. We need the chains of sin broken. How? Through Jesus of course. We discuss what you and I need to do to either break our own chains, or break the chains for others.

Various verses. Today we talk about love and peace. We are talking about verse 3 of the Christmas hymn O Holy Night. As Christians, we must show the same love to others that God shows to us.

Someone on social media recently said that a Christian cannot sing the song O Holy Night if they are not going to live out the third verse. We will spend the next few days seeing what the third verse says and how we need to apply it to our lives.

Various Verses. Anxiety can be a killer, and so many of us struggle with anxiety when we don’t have to. God cares about You, and the anxiety you struggle with. Give the anxiety to God, let Him deal with it while you receive the rest you deserve that only God can truly give.

Numbers 11:10-15. Moses had enough and he let God know how he felt. Sometimes, we need to get things off our chest, so that it doesn’t cause a rift between you and God.

Numbers 11:4-9. We have so much we need to thank God for, yet often we don’t even realize it. Or, even worse, we start to despise the very things God has provided. Take some time today just to say “thank you” to God for what He has provided for you.

Luke 7:11-17. How much could we change the world if we, as Christians, had compassion for others? Jesus demonstrated compassion to this widow whose only son had passed away. He brought her son back to life. When others are grieving, that is not the time to cast them out and ignore them. It is the time we need to show the love of God to them. Who can you show compassion to today?

Luke 7:1-10. Here, we study an unexpected request from an unlikely source. A Roman centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant. It was a great display of faith like Jesus had never seen. In this episode, we will look at 3 things we need to apply from this story.

Various Verses in the Gospels. We are studying about John the Baptist and how he went from being absolutely sure Jesus was the Messiah, to sending his disciples to ask Jesus is He was the promised one or if they should look for another. What happened? We look at various reasons why this may have happened, and how to make sure doubt doesn’t happen to us as well.

James 4:3, 7-10. Do your prayers often go unanswered? If so, there is a reason for it. Discover why your prayers are going unanswered and how to fix it.

Proverbs 2:10-15, these verses teach us the results of spiritual wisdom.

Proverbs 2:1-5. Here, the writer gives us steps to gaining Spiritual wisdom and understanding. Write these down somewhere or commit it to memory.

Proverbs 1:7 teaches us that the fear of God is the beginning of our wisdom. You will never obtain the spiritual wisdom you need to live for God if God does not have the proper place in your life.

James 1:5-8, if we need wisdom, we simply ask God. That’s the way to do it. But, you must ask in faith not doubting. Doubting is the same as being double minded, and that person should not expect anything of God. So, whatever you face, whatever wisdom you need, ask God. In Faith.
