Theres no holiday that motivates change like New Years Eve. For many of us that means new goals and resolutions in 2018. Whats also true is that most resolutions dont last for more than a few weeks. The good news is that God is working year round and can help us bring about change more than we can on our own. How do the following verses further illustrate this idea of God working in us to bring about change? 2 Corinthians 5:17 New International Version (NIV) 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,the new creationhas come:The old has gone, the new is here! Romans 6:4 New International Version (NIV) 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into deathin order that, just as Christ was raised from the deadthrough the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 8:11 New International Version (NIV) 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the deadis living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodiesbecause ofhis Spirit who lives in you. Can you think of any ways youve changed because of Gods work in your life? 2. This weekend Christopher reminded us that as followers of Jesus we will face trouble. Despite this, God has given us many assurances that could help us when facing hardship. How might the following verses serve as a comfort to someone facing trials, frustrations or hardship? Lamentations 3:22-24 New International Version (NIV) 22Because of theLords great lovewe are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24I say to myself, TheLordis my portion; therefore I will wait for him. 1 Corinthians 15:54-58 New International Version (NIV) 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory. 55Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? 56The sting of death is sin,and the power of sin is the law.57But thanks be to God!He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. Romans 8:31-39 New International Version (NIV) More Than Conquerors 31What, then, shall we say in response to these things?If God is for us,who can be against us?32He who did not spare his own Son,but gave him up for us allhow will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?33Who will bring any chargeagainst those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.34Who then is the one who condemns?No one. Christ Jesus who diedmore than that, who was raised to lifeis at the right hand of Godand is also interceding for us.35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?36As it is written: For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerorsthrough him who loved us.38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future,nor any powers,39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of Godthat is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We each react to struggles differently. Do you notice any themes or patterns within yourself when facing hardship? 3. Take some time to think through any goals you have for 2018. Can you think of any spiritual goals youd like to work on in the new year? ;<WX`s}~ǴǴǴwbP;)h3a<h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hIh%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph.hIh%5CJOJQJ\^JaJmH sH $hN9h%CJOJQJaJmH sH "h%CJOJQJ^JaJmH sH $hDh%CJOJQJaJmH sH h%CJOJQJaJmH sH h%CJaJmH sH hDh%CJaJmH sH h%;CJaJmH sH <s + , M  & F-DM gd%m$d-DM gd%$d-DM a$gd%$-DM a$gd% d@&gd% Z1$]gd%m$ J-1$]gd%m$  + , A K L M V W X Y ` ǷhS>0hh%B*OJQJ^Jph)h3a<h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hIh%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph2 *h3a<h%5>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph!h3a<h%B*OJQJ^Jph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJphh%5B*OJQJ^Jph$h h%5B*OJQJ^Jph* *hIh%5>*B*OJQJ^Jphh%5B*OJQJ^JphM W X Y v ~      3 B C D -DM gd%m$ & F-DM gd%m$-DM `gd%m$` u v } ~ ñ؉tñ_ñN!h3a<h%B*OJQJ^Jph)hIh%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hD3h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph2 *h3a<h%5>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJphh%B*OJQJ^Jph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h3a<h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h{sch%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph       # - 1 2 3 B C éém_Néé;$hIh%5B*OJQJ^Jph!h3a<h%B*OJQJ^Jphh%B*OJQJ^Jph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h3a<h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hIh%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph2 *h3a<h%5>*B*CJOJQJ^JaJph#h%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h{sch%B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)hkh%B*CJOJQJ^JaJphC D S T \ _ v z { ȺjZG0-hFh%@B*CJOJQJ^JaJph%hIh%@B*OJQJ^Jphh%@B*OJQJ^Jph1hIh%B*CJOJQJ^JaJmH phsH h%h%@OJQJ\^J!h3a<h%B*OJQJ^Jph* *h3a<h%5>*B*OJQJ^Jphh%B*OJQJ^Jph$h3a<h%5B*OJQJ^Jphh%5B*OJQJ^Jph(hIh%5B*CJ OJQJ^JphD S T | } ~ $ h8a$gd% h8gd% 8T1$gd%m$ 8Th1$`hgd%m$-DM gd%m$ 5  -DM [$\$gd{+Egd%m$$a$gd%$ 8T1$a$gd%m$$ h8a$gd% 5 j  Ի}l^SF*B*phFO1F % Char Char1OJQJ_HmHsHtHFOAF % Char Char3OJQJ_HmHsHtHTOQT % Char Char2&5CJOJQJ\_HaJmHsHtH>oa> {+Epassage-display-bcvFoqF {+Epassage-display-versionB^`B {+E Normal (Web)dd[$\$4o4 {+Etext 2cor-5-17<o< {+E chapter-1dd[$\$0o0 {+E text rom-6-42o2 {+E text rom-8-112o2 ;linedd[$\$2o2 ; text lam-3-22,o, ; small-caps6o6 ;indent-1-breaks2o2 ; text lam-3-232o!2 ; text lam-3-246o16 ;text 1cor-15-546oA6 ;text 1cor-15-55VoRV ;first-line-none top-05%dd[$\$6oa6 ;text 1cor-15-566oq6 ;text 1cor-15-576o6 ;text 1cor-15-582o2 ; text rom-8-312o2 ; text rom-8-322o2 ; text rom-8-332o2 ; text rom-8-342o2 ; text rom-8-352o2 ; text rom-8-362o2 ; text rom-8-372o2 ; text rom-8-382o2 ; text rom-8-39P<s +,MWXYv~3BCDST|}~5$O.@AB q I O ,   000000000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%0000%0000000000}0}0}0}0}05$O.@AB q I O ,ʑ0sʑ0ʑ00000ȑ0ȑ0000@0@0@0@0@0@0ȑ0ȑ0ȑ0@0@00000000000 0` C Q.:,  "#$%&M D !'8@(  \B  S Do"?B S  ?rP(rt"$" "" "" "$" ``flekrr=*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PlaceType=*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PlaceName9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace c5; ~  8 9 33333333``&'ef&'EF[ LMbiV3!h^`5o(()^`.pL^p`L.@ ^@ `.^`.L^`L.^`.^`.PL^P`L.biV<H!         <tG} A /r!8k } A[D< cI[ _wZa8k b/ {+E%;g2<@8rP@UnknownG>[x Times New Roman5Symbol3& >Cx Arial?& x@Arial Black7&:{$ Calibri7& [ @Verdana?5 >Cx Courier New"qhs\\ ! !%x242qHP)?%NEW YEAR S MESSAGEUSERUSER Oh+'0x  4 @ LX`hpNEW YEARS MESSAGEUSERNormalUSER3Microsoft Office Word@ @:i@՜.+,0 hp  Microsoft Corporation!
