Intro/Attention

Happy New Year! The New Year is a time for new beginnings. Have you ever felt like you needed a new beginning? You just want to press the pause button on life and start over. Maybe you said something you shouldn't have said, or done something you shouldn't have done. All of us need a new beginning from time to time. Maybe an ''undo button'' for life.

A new beginning, a new start, a new you, a new opportunity, a new challenge, a new vision, a new passion, a new direction and a new burden. In marking this time, this day, this year and this moment as the point of new beginnings, there are some things that we will do as a result of the new beginning God has started in us.

We will watch for the plan of God: 7a
