6 Ways To Waste Your New Year | Week 3 | Dr. Phillip Martin

In this message from John 16:33, we confront one of the most common ways believers waste their year and their life: living in discouragement.Jesus never promised a trouble free life. He promised peace in the middle of pressure. This sermon explores how fear, stress, failure, and outside voices drain courage and quietly keep believers on the sidelines. It also reveals why discouragement is not just emotional, but spiritual, and how Jesus calls us to respond with courage instead of retreat.If you feel pressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or hesitant to step forward, this message will remind you that trouble has already been overcome, and courage is still possible.Scripture Focus:John 16:33
