Resolutions vs. Goals
What was a goal that we had in 2021? Did you meet your goal? What did you learn?
Do you set resolutions?
Does the Bible teach that we should set resolutions?
Not specifically but we are told that seasons were created on purpose.

What is the idea of renewal from the Bible?
58.72 ἀνακαίνωσις, εως f; ἀνακαινόωa; ἀνανεόω: to cause something to become new and different, with the implication of becoming superior—‘to make new, renewal.’
Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996). In Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament: based on semantic domains (electronic ed. of the 2nd edition., Vol. 1, p. 593). United Bible Societies.
How do you feel when you don’t meet your goals? How can we fight against that feeling?
Romans 7:18 I desire to do what is right but I can’t carry it out
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Accusation gets its power from agreement. Come out of agreement with the lie that you are defined by what you produce.
