When we are renewed, we are not fully free from the nature of sin. There is still the old us waiting in the wings to have free rein in our lives again. Thomas and Jessica talk about recognizing and fighting off the old you, as you strive to live a renewed life in Christ.

Pastor Derek talks about living a life with our hands stretched to God From the passage Exodus 17:8-12

Thomas and Jessica emphasize the importance of daily renewal in Christ to live a transformed life. They discuss how thoughts, actions, and attitudes should reflect the essence of Christ, providing practical advice for maintaining a positive mindset amidst life's challenges. They stress the significance of accountability and self-reflection in personal growth and encourages believers to be aware of their influence on others through their words and behaviors. Ultimately, they remind everyone that true faith is demonstrated not just in belief but also through actions that build up and honor others.

Thomas and Jessica discuss the concept of renewal in the context of the new year and the challenges of maintaining resolutions from a Christian perspective. True renewal is not achievable through personal efforts alone but is facilitated by accepting one's identity in Christ and relying on the Holy Spirit for daily transformation. The discussion also touches on the importance of reflecting on our actions, learning from our mistakes, and asking God for forgiveness and growth. Ultimately, the focus is on the journey of maturing in faith, recognizing that renewal is an ongoing process that requires honesty, accountability, and divine assistance.
