\\u201cForget the former things; do not dwell on the past.\\xa0 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)\\xa0

\\n

God doesn\\u2019t just want to do a new thing some day\\u2026 He is doing a new thing today!

\\n

\\u2026I am the\\xa0Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment.\\xa0 I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the\\xa0Lord\\xa0your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt.\\xa0 I will bring you into the land I swore to give\\u2026 Exodus 6:6-8 (NLT)

A season of new LIFE

\\n

Behold, I\\xa0am making all things new\\u2026 Revelation 21:5 (ESV)

\\n

Life OUR way will never compare to life GOD\\u2019S way.

\\n

But that\\u2019s no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. \\xa0Ephesians 4:22-24 (MSG)

\\n

Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything\\u2014and I do mean everything\\u2014connected with that old way of life has to go. It\\u2019s rotten through and through. Get rid of it! Ephesians 4:22-24 (MSG)

\\n

And then take on an entirely new way of life\\u2014a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. Ephesians 4:22-24 (MSG)

\\n

A season of new IDENTITY

\\n

Therefore, if anyone\\xa0is\\xa0in Christ,\\xa0he is\\xa0a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

\\n

Religion is us trying to get prove love to God\\u2026 Christianity is God trying to prove His love to us.

\\n

For HE CHOSE US\\u2026in him before the creation of the world\\xa0to be holy and blamelessin his sight. In lovehepredestinedus for adoption to sonshipthrough Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure\\xa0and will\\u2026Ephesians 1:4-5 (NIV)

\\n

In him we have redemption\\xa0through his blood,\\xa0the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the richesof God\\u2019s gracethat he lavished on us\\u2026 Ephesians 1:7-8 (NIV)

\\n

A season of new PURPOSE

\\n

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can\\u2019t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.\\xa0 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.\\xa0Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT)

\\n

For we are God\\u2019s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

\\n

The position you play is important to the success of the whole team.

\\n

Don\\u2019t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!\\xa01 Corinthians 9:24 (NLT)

\\n

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.\\xa01 Corinthians 9:25 (NLT)

\\n

So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 1 Corinthians 9:26 (NLT)

\\n

A season of new OPPORTUNITY

\\n

And we know that God causes everything to work togetherfor the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28 (NLT)

\\n

"I talked to him about where he wanted to go in the future, That\'s one of the things my dad always used to say to me when he was alive. \'Don\'t worry about where you are so much. What are you going to do to make it better?\' And that\'s what I kept asking Mike. \'Where are you going to go from here?\\u201d \\u2013 Tony Dungy

\\n

So how do we truly step into the NEW season God has for us?

\\n

1. Leave the past behind.

\\n

\\u201cThere is no middle ground here; we are embracing our past or embracing our future.\\xa0 We can\\u2019t do both at the same time.\\u201d \\u2013 Pastor Brady Boyd

\\n

2.\\xa0 Check your attitude.

\\n

How we leave one season will determine how we enter the next.

\\n

3. \\xa0Trust the process.

\\n

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6 (NLT)

\\n

There is no prerequisite for salvation, but there is a process to Christianity.

\\n

\\n

\\u2026I am the\\xa0Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment.\\xa0 I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the\\xa0Lord\\xa0your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt.\\xa0 I will bring you into the land I swore to give\\u2026 Exodus 6:6-8 (NLT)
