Sunday, December 27th - Pastor Kyle Van Tine - (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12)
Work Backwards
How do you define your life; as primarily proactive or reactive, and why?
How do you want to be remembered by your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors?
What would it look like to finish well in your marriage and leave a godly legacy for your family?
Are your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals and habits consistent with what you believe?
Live Consistently
Where are the areas of inconsistency in your life? (Examples: self-discipline, church vs private life, marriage, family, work, private life?) Are you honest about your inconsistency?
What are the major lessons you’ve learned from your failures in 2015? What are you need to do to keep from making the same mistakes?
Make Resolutions
If hoping alone is not a viable strategy for growth and change, how will your 2016 be different than 2015?
What areas in your life need to change in 2016? What projects and goals do you want to accomplish in 2016? Use the S.M.A.R.T method for help (Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound).
Be Intentional
Where have you seen a disconnect in your life between good intentions and good actions?
Who will you pour into and invest in during 2016? How will you encourage, cultivate and challenge them this year?
As the saying goes, “Find your misery and you will find your ministry”, what breaks your heart, makes you angry, provokes you; what will you do about it in 2016?
What season of life are you in and how does that season (e.g. singleness, retirement, etc.) shape your ministry?
Stay Faithful
How have you personally been enriched by the faithfulness of others?
Who will your faithfulness impact, encourage and guide?
How can you cultivate faithfulness and long obedience in the same direction?
