RESET: Goal #2, Becoming Like Jesus
RESET: January Message Series
Series Description:
A new year brings us an opportunity to hit the reset button; to make new plans, to set new goals, and to dream about the year ahead. As we look ahead to 2021, what are some spiritual goals that we can set as we follow Jesus? As Christians, what might be some values and practices that God would be inviting us to consider?
This year, orient your entire life around three basic goals:
Being with Jesus (Sunday Jan 3)
Becoming like Jesus (Sunday Jan 10)
Doing what Jesus Said (Sunday Jan 17)
Message Description (Jan 3, 2021):
A central goal for every follower of Jesus should be to become like Jesus; to have our character fundamentally changed and formed by the Spirit of Jesus. But what does that look like? And how can we orient our life around this goal in 2021?
Today's Speaker: Pastor Jeff Jantzi
Main Passages: Galatians 5:16-23

• What does it look like for you to be more “led by the Spirit” in 2021?
• What does it look like for you to ‘resist the drift’ and to be more intentional to “create space for God in your life” every day in 2021?
