Below are the takeaways Holly shared for each sermon clip. Which of those do you most need to take with you into 2021? What about that takeaway challenges your mindset?
“Make Room For The New” — Time under tension is the formula for growth.
“Tired On The Inside” — We serve a God who is powerful enough to give us strength, but was also human enough to feel tired
“Unschedulable Blessings” — Some of the best things God will do in your life will not be on your schedule. You cannot schedule God’s presence.
“Did I Ask?” — Keep coming back. When they came to Him, they received. When you ask, you activate.
Act On It
Spend time in your sermon notes from 2020. Reflect on what God did in you and around you in 2020, and ask yourself what lessons you need to keep in front of you for 2021.
Prayer Requests And Prayer
Ask eGroup members to share any prayer requests they have. Record any notes or prayer requests to pray for members during the week.Father, thank You for the favor You showed us in 2020. Help us keep those moments and blessings with us as we walk into a new year so we can be constantly reminded of Your goodness, grace, and strength. We believe the best is yet to come, and we ask that You would help us grow so we can fully experience it. In Jesus’ name, amen.
