When Jesus came to planet earth, He flipped culture on its head. He gave us so many paradoxical teachings like: the last shall be first, lose your life to gain it, it is better to give than to receive -- to name just a few! 

If we want to live our best life with God, it’s always a good strategy to do things His way. And, if you’re still looking for a New Year’s resolution, you might consider saying “goodbye” to one of the four things we discuss in today’s Basics Tuesday Bible Study!

Even though it might not always make sense, God’s ways can be trusted! He is for you and He has great things in store for you! 

(If you’re following along in our “Getting A Grip On The Basics of Serving God” workbook, this lesson is from Chapter 3: How to lose your life.)
