Join us as we do a deep dive look at Pastor Tim Travis’ messages: My Heart is Fixed (Part 1) – Finding Stability in Life’s Storms & How to Begin the New Year.
Join us for a transformative deep dive into two powerful messages by Pastor Tim Travis designed to help you navigate the new year with spiritual stability and clear purpose. We first explore the necessity of a “fixed heart” through David’s experience in the cave at En-gedi, learning how to remain emotionally stable by focusing forward on Christ rather than looking in the “rear-view mirror” of past trials. This study emphasizes trusting God’s providential care “until these calamities be overpassed” and warns against rushing His developmental process, much like one should not prematurely cut a butterfly from its cocoon. Turning to Paul’s blueprint for growth, we discuss how to “press toward the mark” by intentionally forgetting what lies behind and making the person of Christ supreme over life’s daily distractions. To turn spiritual resolutions into reality, the sources examine Daniel’s commitment to “purpose in his heart” and the practical application of SMART goals—Serious, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timed—ensuring we stay in the Word as a “lamp” for our next step. Focusing on the Word is much like a farmer keeping his eyes on a distant object to plow a straight line; it ensures that even when the terrain is rough, your path remains true to the Master’s design.
