Teaching Notes

Reflections from 2020

We need to ponder what was positive

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9

We need to examine what we experienced

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
Deuteronomy 4:9

We need to punt on the past

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
Philippians 3:13

Pressing Forward into 2021

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
Philippians 3:13

Be aware of the enemies desire to bring you down.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Ephesians 6:10-11

Five strategies to bring your down

Doubt

"Did God really say that you couldn't eat from all the trees in the garden?”
Genesis 3:1

Distortion

"When you eat from it…you will be like God."
Genesis 3:5

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:26-27

Discouragement

Distraction

Division

“The woman you put here with me – she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Genesis 3:12

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?
2 Corinthians 13:5
