  Speaker 1: think y'all told you I was gonna be prepared coming
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for So again, the title is Embracing New Beginnings. A
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: scripture is going to be coming from Second Corinthians five
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and seventeen and say, therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: he is a new creature, and the old has gone
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and the new has come again that Second Corinthians five,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: welcome today sixteen family. Today we are leaning into the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: beautiful truth that Christ every single day is a brand
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: new day, y'all. In Christ, every single day is a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: brand new day, a new beginning. Let me say that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a third time, in Christ, every single day is a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: brand new beginning. You got another chance, y'all, He extended
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: his grace and his mercy. Our past does not define
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: us because in him, our future is filled with hope
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and new possibilities. I want to share a little backstory
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on this, y'all. Have you ever wished for a fresh start?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Life gets messy, we make mistakes, and sometimes the burdens
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of yesterday feels overwhelming. But when we surrender our lives
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to Jesus, his love wipes away all of our old history.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Our identity is no longer found in who he was,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: but who we are now it is now found and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: who we are becoming because of his grace, in his mercy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: God specializes in new beginning. It's his love language, y'all,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's his love language. Let me share this with you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: In Christ, we are made new. The moment we say
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: yes to Jesus, God does an incredible transformation in our hearts.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: We are not judged. We are not judged. We are
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not just fixed. We are not we're not. We are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: made new. We are reborn spiritually. Our story is rewritten.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: No matter what yesterday was or what it looked like,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Today is a new page. It is a new chapter.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: God has given us permission to start fresh. So know
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that whatever you did yesterday, it's okay. It does not matter,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: because the day is the new day. He's standing his
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: grace and he's standing his mercy. He gave you another chance.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: He didn't give you a second chance, y'all, because it's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: day one ninety seven, in this, in this, in this, Yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it is day one ninety seven. So guess he's given us.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He's given us one hundred and ninety seven new chances, y'all.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So counted, all joy, counted, all joy, counted, all joy.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: There once was a young woman named Maya who carried
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: harry regrets from her past, poor decisions, broken relationships, missed opportunities.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: She felt burdened and unworthy, wearing shame like a cloak,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: never allowing herself to dream a new chapter. One Sunday,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Maya heard a message at church about God's forgiving The
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: pastor read as as far as the east from the west,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: so far has he removed our transgressions from us? And
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that came out of songs one on three and twelve
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: if you want to read up some more on that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: In the quiet moment, Maya prayed and honestly for the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: first time, she surrendered her burdens to Christ. A peace
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: flowed over her heart, and for the first time, she
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: truly believed that she was forgiven and free, this slate
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: white clean. As Maya grew in her journey with Jesus,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: she discovered that God wasn't just erasing her old mistakes,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but actually giving her a new sense of self. When
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: she read for he died in your life is now
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: hidden in Christ in God, Colossians three and three, a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: light bulb turned on in her heart. Maya realized that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: she was no longer the one who messed up. She
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was God's beloved daughter, created for more, her new identity
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: now found in Christ, not in her past, but in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: her now. One day, Maya faced a challenging situation but
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: remembered a verse from her mentor see, I am doing
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a new thing now it springs up for you not
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: perceive it Isaiah forty three and nineteen. Instead of shrinking
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: back to fear, Maya trusted God promised that he was
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: doing something new inside of her every morning, and she
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: woke up with hope, knowing that God was writing a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: fresh story over her life. And I want you to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: wake up every morning with that same what he did
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for her, He's doing it for you. He did it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: for me, He's doing it for you. Huh. A new,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a new, a new. You are forgiven and you are
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: free as far as the east from the west. Remember
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that you are forgiven, for has he removed all of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: your transgressions. In Christ, your past is forgiven. You are
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: free to live without cond nation. Know that you are free.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: You have a new identity for you, for you died
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and your life is now hidden and Christ. In God,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you are no longer defined by old habits and mistake,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: but your real identity is now in Him. Trust the word,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: trust the process. God is doing something new in you.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: See I'm doing a new thing. Now it springs up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Do not perceive it. God is always working every day,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: bringing new moth and fresh grace. Humh. You got to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: see this day. Somebody didn't get to see this day,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: but you got to see this new day. You got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a chance to get it right. You got another chance
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to impact lives. You got another chance to make a difference.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So guess what. Allow him to release your past today,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Allow him to move, Allow him to move you from
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: yo yesterday. Pray and give your burdens to him. No
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: matter what you're going through, know that he's working it out.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: He say, cast all your anxiety upon him, because he
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: cares for you. It's not just word. He cares for you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: First Peter five and seven. Renew your mind daily. Fill
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: your thoughts with thoughts of Him, good thoughts. All you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: got to do is pick up the Bible, read it,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: get something down in you so that when things come
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to you you will know how to confront it. It say,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: do not be conformed to the patterns of this world,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind Romans
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: twelve and two. Y'all, we got to renew our our
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: minds daily. We got to renew our minds, our hearts,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and our spirit daily. We got to come unto Him.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: We got to confess those things and turn from them.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And then not only that, y'all, we got to walk
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in expectation. Start each day believing that God is doing
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: something new. You have to believe it. You got to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: know it, and you got to believe it. All you
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: got to do is pick up his word and read
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it and apply it to your life. But just know
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that every day He's doing something new in you. Because
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord Great love. We are not consumed, for his
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: compassion never fails. They are new every morning. That's over lamentations, y'all,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he said, Because of the Lord's great love, we are
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: not consumed for his compassion never fails. Huh. It's a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: new every morning, y'all. It's a new every morning. Know that. So, family,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: take to heart and speak life. No matter where you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: find yourself today, stay the course and do not that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: discouragement turn your praise into complaining. Praise Him regardless, Praise
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Him through it. When you feel the urge to give up,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: remember God has never given up on you, not once,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: not ever. Think of Jesus on that cross. He endured
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the unmaginable pain for us, Yet he said not one
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: word to protest fulfilling his mission in love and silence. Yes,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: he stood, he bore that cross, his hair, nails drawn
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in his hand, blurnt, dripping blood. But yet he didn't
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: say one mumbling word. He stood there. If he did
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: not complain, as he paid the price for our freedom,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: how much more should we lift up our voices and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: gratitude even in the hard places, even when you're going through,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Give him praise, don't quit on God, because He's still
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: writing your story. Every stumble, every short coming, it is
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: an opportunity for His grace to shine bright through you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You are not damaged goods. You're not a you are
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: not a mishap, you are not a mistake. But you
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: are truly a masterpiece in progress. Help together by His faithfulness, God,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: his mercy, His mercy a brand new every single morning.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So don't allow the mistakes of yesterday to steal your
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: joy today God had. What God has for you today
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: is yet more promises He hold for you today and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and forevermore. Praise Him in all things, trust the process,
