Getting Off To A Good Start

January 1, 2017
Nehemiah 1 & 2
 

We’ve all got hopes and dreams for the New Year. We want to get off to a good start. Many people shy away from calling their plans resolutions, for that word reminds them of past disappointments. We haven’t all done so well following through implementing new habits.  
      
This Sunday we will look at a great example from the Old Testament. Nehemiah was a very successful man. The first couple chapters document how he got off to a good start on a big project. I think this lesson will be great. I’ve found five practical principles that will guide us as we set out to accomplish new and exciting things in 2017.
     
The service will feature lots of variety, from comedy to communion, with Bible in the middle – that’s my part - bringing this message of encouragement that will help you get off to a good start.
