A win for me in 2016 would be ___________________________.

Phil 3:13-14 (NLT) No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it (perfection), but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Clarifying the Win

1. Forget the Past

...forgetting the past…

My history is not in the past if it’s still affecting me today.

2. Look Forward

...looking forward to what lies ahead…

3. Run the Race

...I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize…

Where values are clear, decisions are easy.

Matthew 4:1 (NLT) Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry.

Biblical fasting is refraining from food for a spiritual purpose.

Matt 5:6 (NIV) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Matt 5:6 (MSG) You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.

2. Who fasted in the Bible?

4. Why did they fast?

God always rewards obedience to His Word.

Daniel 9:2-3 (NLT) During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the Lord, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and fasting.

Matthew 4:3-4 (NLT) During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

It’s the small things that no one sees that result in big things everyone wants.

Discipline is taking control over our habits.

Why Am I So Inconsistent?

Romans 7:15, 18-20, 24-25 (NLT) I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate... I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it…Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord...

Christ in me is stronger than any wrong habit.

Training to Win What Matters Most

1 Cor 9:24-25 (NLT) Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.

1 Cor 9:26-27 (NLT) So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should...

What do you want most?

What do you need to do now to have what you want most?

Zech 4:10 (NLT) Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…

Response:

1. Where in my life am I lacking the most discipline? How has it affected me?

2. What do I want most?

3. What do I need to do now to have what I want most?

Luke 2:8-11 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Three Reasons the Shepherds Felt Distant From God

1. They felt unworthy.

2. They felt inadequate.

3. They felt unloved.

Here Is the Good News

Rom 3:20-22 (NLT) For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law…We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

1. We cannot earn God’s acceptance by keeping the law.

Rom 3:20 (NLT) For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands.

2. The purpose of the law is to show us our need for a Savior.

Rom 3:20 (NLT) For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.

We don’t need religion—we need Christ!

3. We are made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Rom 3:22 (NLT) We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

He came to the Shepherds, the outcasts, to make the point: No matter who you are, no matter what you do, no matter what our lot in life, I come for you because everyone needs a Savior. Every One! All of us here today! ALL!

1. How do I feel?
