Why is it important to not let our old nature and habits hold us back?
How can we support and encourage each other to live as new creations?
What steps can we take to continuously put on our new selves and live in a fresh way?
In his sermon, Pastor Paul Feuerstein of Helena First Church talks about needing a fresh start and how God offers us a new heart. He references Ezekiel 11:19-20, where God promises to give His people a new heart and spirit. He also mentions that long before heart transplants were possible, God was already doing them. Pastor Paul discusses how our feelings can mislead us about being a new creation and reminds us that God's word is the truth. He encourages us to live as new creations and to not let our old nature and habits hold us back.
Believe in God's promise of a new heart and start living as a new creation.
Don't let your feelings override the truth of your new creation. Take off your old self and put on the new self.
