CAN YOU RELATE?    

 

"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you
except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
.." 

1 Corinthians 2:2 (NIV)

top 10 resolutions

  

How are you doing with your New Year's resolutions?

  

I was reading about a man who was determined to make only those resolutions that he could keep, so he started off his year with a list that said:

 

- I won't lose ten pounds this year.

 

- I commit to watching the Super Bowl this year. 

 

- I will listen to my iPod at least four days a week.

  

That list is quite a contrast to another man who played for keeps when he made New Year's resolutions. I'm talking about the apostle Paul.  Paul most likely only had one resolution on his New Year's list: "This year I resolve to know nothing but Christ and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2).

  

Paul's message is straightforward and to the point - Focus your attention on your relationship with Jesus Christ and everything else, including every other relationship in your life will fall into place.

  

This weekend, as we continue our "Resolutions" series, Andrew White will lead us in looking at how the quality of our life is in large part determined by the quality of our relationships.  I hope you can join us Saturday at 5:30PM or Sunday morning at 9AM or 11AM.

  

Embracing the journey,

Pastor Rick
