reset-1024-768When our computers get bogged down and unmanageable, we know to hit a reset button to simply start over. Wouldn’t a reset button be great in life? We know it would be complicated, with all our responsibilities and routines to consider, but imagine the freedom and refreshment of a new start in life! What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to, and what would you ignore? How would you avoid getting bogged down and broken again?

The great news is, in coming to earth as Jesus Christ, God has begun to “reset” our universe, our world, and even us. We’re invited to start over with him, in what he calls his kingdom. We’re invited to start a new life with a clean slate.

What gets wiped clean, and lived differently, when God resets our lives? We’ll explore how God resets these key areas of our lives:

  • Reset: Goals
  • Reset: Time
  • Reset: Money
  • Reset: Work
  • Reset: Body & Food
  • Reset: Sex & Marriage
  • Reset: Family
  • Reset: Compassion
  • Reset: Nature
  • Reset: Society
  • Reset: Death

Follow our daily challenges Monday to Friday for the next several weeks, and invite God to reset your life.  It all starts Monday, January 13th below and in our app and social media channels.

Monday - A New Idea - Generosity

This week, we take an honest look at our motivations for giving and helping others. Charities know people like to be honoured and recognized for the good, generous people they are. More likely to give, if they know they’ll be honoured. A Dutch study of church offerings of cash for outside charities. Baskets & Bags. When using baskets, attendees can see the contribution made by their direct neighbours as well as the total amount already gathered. Givings Increased 10% when baskets are used. Not just money. Owners of the environmentally friendly Toyota Prius were polled about why they drive a Prius. #1 answer was this it makes a statement about me. Higher fuel economy and lower emissions in third and fifth place! Our concern for what others think can clearly motivate us to give and do good...a fact many charities use to their advantage to raise money! Question: How have you benefited from giving to others in the past? Think about both tangible and intangible ones, intentional or not. How do you feel about receiving these?
