Here is how to have a new you for the new year.

Colossians 3:1-17

New Approach

  1. Seek things which are above where Christ is - The call is to rise above
  2. Set your mind on things above not things on the earth. (What is the heavenly pattern?)
    1. You have died and are hidden in Christ - So Christ is your life

      2. At the beginning of the new year, I often clean out the garage and the closet. During this time I put things away.

      Now that I have my tax bill or utility thing I can go to the dump! God has given us the things to put away.
