6 Ways To Ruin Your New Year | Week 2 | Dr.Phillip Martin

In this Sunday message, we continue the series “Six Ways to Waste Your New Year” with a full walk through Romans 12. This episode tackles two common patterns that derail spiritual growth and relational peace:1) Remaining stubborn and refusing to change2) Feeding comparison and contemptRomans 12 reveals how conformity to the world’s pressure can harden the heart—leading to bitterness, resentment, and conflict with others. You’ll hear a direct call to true worship: surrendering your life to God as a living sacrifice, and experiencing real transformation through the renewing of your mind.This episode also offers a practical roadmap from Romans 12 for rooting out comparison and contempt through Christlike living—humility, love without hypocrisy, honoring others, serving faithfully, persevering through hardship, practicing hospitality, blessing those who hurt you, and leaving vengeance to God.If you’ve been feeling stuck, hardened, or frustrated watching others “move forward,” this message is a reset: stop wasting the year under pressure, and step into who God has called you to be.
