Isaiah 43:19 \/ Philippians 3:13-14<\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past.<\/span>
\n19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; <\/span>Will you not be aware of it? <\/span>I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, <\/span>Rivers in the desert.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it<\/i> yet; but one thing I do:<\/i> forgetting what lies<\/i> behind and reaching forward to what lies<\/i> ahead,
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\nI. He makes all things new in our worship.<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
\n20 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people<\/i> say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”
\n21 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Jesus *said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.<\/span>
\n22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.<\/span>
\n23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.<\/span>
\n24 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup> \u00a0I will bless the LORD at all times; <\/span>His praise shall continually be in my mouth.<\/span>
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice.<\/span>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the LORD and to practice it,<\/i> and to teach His<\/i> statutes and ordinances in Israel.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Ezra the scribe stood at a wooden podium which they had made for the purpose. ..5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up.
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then Ezra blessed the LORD the great God. And all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped the LORD with their<\/i> faces to the ground.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0They read from the book, from the law of God, translating to give the sense so that they understood the reading.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is<\/i> your spiritual service of worship.
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. <\/span><\/p>\nII. He makes all things new in our witness.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>41 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
\n42 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began<\/i> to recognize them as having been with Jesus.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>43 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.<\/p>\nIII. He makes all things new in our work.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His<\/i> good pleasure.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I said to the king, “Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?”
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then the king said to me, “What would you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I said to the king, “If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height,<\/i> for the people had a mind to work.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another.
\n20 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.”<\/p>\nDo you want to be new this year?<\/h3>\n
SURRENDER!<\/h3>\n
