Genesis 1:1-2:25Matthew 1:1-2:12
Psalm 1:1-6
Proverbs 1:1-6
The New Year is all about new beginnings. For some reason, humans just seem willing to try new things and move in new directions on January 1st. Needless to say, making a new start is a common theme in the Bible as well. In Genesis 1 we read of God’s new formation of life on earth. Matthew 1 then tells of a new day found in Jesus as God comes to live among humanity. This newness reminds us that God is willing to allow people to make fresh starts in life and seek to reinvent themselves. As long as we are here on earth, the day to start over is always available to us. This may be why Jesus tells Nicodemus in John 3 to be “born again.” Because God loves it when people start over and begin again with him. Today is a new day! Let’s make this day one that will honor God in a fresh new way!

I think the funniest line in your sermon today was: "Is God Bipolar?"
I also liked the factoids you put out of the five women in the Genealogy of Christ.
This is the first time I have checked out your blog and I like it. It did as you said it would. I studied a bit deeper into the sermon today. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Ps. don't have a google account yet. LOL!
Glad you liked it man! I hope it can continue to fulfill that purpose of opening up scripture even deeper. Thanks for the complement!
