What do you do when it ALL FALLS APART? Your Career… Your Marriage… Your Dreams…? How do you ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ and BEGIN AGAIN? Don’t Miss the Last Week of our Series called STARTING OVER! We’ll be wrapping up this week by talking about the last area you need to focus on before you can begin REPLACING YOUR DREAMS with GOD’S DREAMS… and START OVER the Right Way! See You Sunday!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (WK4) RELEASE IT

 

We all have MISTAKES from our PASTFinancial / Professional / Academic and Relational! Unfortunately… We all tend to learn from our mistakes in the areas that matter least and repeat our mistakes in the areas that matter most! Sometimes that’s because we avoid OWNING OUR PART of a MISTAKE! (It’s much easier to Blame Others!) But if you’re able to take OWNERSHIP of YOUR PART of a MISTAKE… What do you do with the PART OWNED by OTHERS? How do you GET PAST the “STUFF” - OTHER PEOPLE have DONE to turn YOUR LIFE UPSIDE DOWN?

Great NewsYOU have the ability to DECIDE today to let your past REMIND YOU... but not DEFINE YOU!

 

To insure the NEXT TIME won't be like the LAST TIME... You gotta RELEASE the PAST so the PAST can RELEASE You!

 

FORGIVENESS is the Key... It allows you to LEVERAGE the LESSONS from your PAST without LUGGING around the LUGGAGE from your PAST!

 

STOP… Allowing a Person/Thing from Your Past have a Permanent Place in Your Present or in Your Future!

 

The Only Way for you to 'break the chain' to what's been DONE to YOU and YOUR FUTURE is to PARDON!

 

God does not factor Your Sin in Your Relationship with Him! He FREED HIMSELF from the BURDEN of YOU and YOUR SINS by CHOOSING (DECIDING) to PARDON YOU! (The least you could do for others is the same!?)

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9A / 10:45A)

What do you do when it ALL FALLS APART? Your Career… Your Marriage… Your Dreams…? How do you ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ and BEGIN AGAIN? Don’t Miss our Brand New Series at COC called STARTING OVER! We’ll continue discussing over the remaining Two Weeks… a few more areas that you can begin REPLACING YOUR DREAMS with GOD’S DREAMS… and START OVER the Right Way! See You Sunday!

 

 

Sunday Snapshot… (WK3) RETHINK IT

 

We often LEARN from our MISTAKES in the areas that matter the LEAST…  (However…) We tend to REPEAT our MISTAKES in the areas that matter the MOST! (And all too often…) We look at our pasts and our decisions don’t even make sense to us… then we always seem to end up asking… “WHAT WAS I THINKING?”  Well… Join us this week and let’s PAUSE long enough to actually ANSWER that QUESTION!

If you THINK the way you used to THINK... you'll always DO what you used to DO!

 

CONFORMATION vs. TRANSFORMATION... CONFORMATION is the EASY WAY - however TRANSFORMATION takes TIME!

 

RENEWING YOUR MIND...

  1. A Renewed Mind is a Restored Mind!
  2. You have to TAKE OFF the OLD and PUT ON the NEW!

 

REGRET and RESOLVE are never gonna be enough! (Once Again...) If you THINK the way you used to THINK... you're gonna DO what you used to DO!

 

If what you're doing is NOT RIGHT... things aren't ever going to TURN OUT RIGHT!

 

You owe it to yourself to finally ANSWER the QUESTION that you seem to always be ASKING... (That Being...) WHAT WAS I THINKING?

 

 

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9A / 10:45A)
