A Prayer For The New Year

How can we move beyond superficial New Year's resolutions and experience the transforming, surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ?In this sermon on Philippians 3:1–11, we explore three foundational prayers for entering a new season: reminding ourselves of timeless gospel truths, defining Christianity biblically rather than culturally, and allowing the gospel to reorder what we truly value. Moving past legalism, self-confidence, and external rituals, this message highlights how true faith is an internal transformation that produces a life of spirit-led worship, boasting in Christ, and speaking life into every situation. Discover how counting former accomplishments as loss allows us to gain Christ and walk in the power of His resurrection.In this episode, we cover:Reminding Ourselves of Timeless Truths: Recognizing our tendency to forget core spiritual realities—like the power of the tongue to speak life—and shifting from consequence-driven living to understanding-driven faith.Defining Christianity Biblically: Guarding against cultural definitions and external procedures, while embracing true spiritual worship, glory in Christ, and zero confidence in the flesh.Reevaluating What Matters: Examining Paul's extensive resume to see how the surpassing value of knowing Christ redefines our priorities and values.Living in Resurrection Power: Experiencing an ever-deepening, experiential relationship with Jesus that shapes our daily words and actions.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
