NEW SERIES BEGINS SUNDAY!

“YOU IN FIVE YEARS”

january 5 – february 2, 2020

Ready to trash your New Year’s Resolutions?

We live in a society with lots of “Starters” but not many “Finishers”. Recent studies suggest 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail. Those are not encouraging numbers. If you’re already tanking on your commitments for 2020 you’re probably beating yourself up thinking you should have tried harder, gotten up earlier, went to bed later, or drank more creamed vegetables from your blender.  You’re wishing you would have hired a life coach,  eaten more superfoods, or joined the “No judgement gym”. Now you’re feeling bad about yourself all over again as you Google the return policy for your Peloton exercise bike. 

You might be surprised learn your greatest obstacles in not being able to finish what you start are not your lack of discipline or laziness. Rather it is unexpected things like perfectionism, impatience, distractions, not tracking or celebrating your progress, and even the wrong goals in the first place. 

Here’s some encouraging news for you. God has a better plan for your future. He wants you to choose the right goals for the right reasons. He wants to you to walk with him through change at a slower pace doing smaller things which, in the end, are better for you and accomplish even more than you planned. Can you imagine God giving you permission to cut your goals in half or to give yourself more time to accomplish your dreams? Can you hear God say, it’s OK to pat yourself on the back a little for accomplishing small, seemingly insignificant, goals in the direction of bigger ones? 

Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, “You in Five Years” with a message called, Too Small to Fail. Together we’ll learn how God often does his greatest work “little by little” and we’ll share five secrets to help you partner with God to hit your long term goals out of the park. 

You have friends and family members who need this message so invite them. If they hesitate, tell them we’re planning another scientific experiment involving an explosion…or that you’ll take them out for brunch/lunch afterwards. Whatever works for you.
