New Year, New You: Going Home a Different Person

New Year, New You: Going Home a Different Person

In this motivating New Year’s message, Pastor James challenges us to go home not just to the same place, but as a different person. Learn how encountering Jesus transforms your life, why your past does not define you, and how surrendering what possesses you opens the door to God’s blessings. Discover the stories of the demon-possessed man who was set free and the rich young ruler who walked away sad, and be encouraged to give Jesus your best so He can take care of the rest. Start 2017 with a renewed purpose, faith, and passion to follow Him fully.

Key Takeaways

• Encountering Jesus changes you; you may go home to the same place but not the same person.
• Faith comes by hearing God’s Word; spiritual growth requires consistent intake and obedience.
• Giving Jesus your best leads to Him taking care of the rest.
• Many are possessed not by demons, but by their possessions, hobbies, or habits, keeping them from fully following Christ.
• God does not hold your faults against you; He wants restored relationships with Him and others.
• True faith produces visible changes in your life, relationships, and purpose.
• What is impossible for man is possible with God; no problem or person is too hard for Him to change.
