How to Begin the New Year

Pastor Tim Travis outlines a biblical strategy for approaching the New Year by drawing on the transformative experiences of the apostle Paul and the prophet Daniel. He emphasizes that spiritual growth requires forgetting past failures and maintaining a singular, disciplined focus on prioritizing the person of Christ over all earthly distractions. To achieve lasting change rather than fleeting resolutions, Pastor Travis encourages believers to take personal responsibility for their spiritual health through consistent Bible study, pure thoughts, and the pursuit of a “SMART” goal-setting framework. Ultimately, Travis serves an urgent call to labor diligently toward spiritual maturity, trusting that the resurrection power of Jesus will provide the necessary strength to finish the race faithfully.
