What kind of Resolutions do you have for 2019? Are you going to lose weight? Exercise? Finish cleaning the garage? Whatever you resolutions are this year, make it a point to be a real man, just like God wants you to be. This podcast originally aired when 2017 was but two days from ending. Although it was last year’s message, it is still very relevant for today. Listen to the Podcast and share it with your friends and family.

Can you believe it? Having just celebrated Christmas Day, we look to the end of our past year and the beginning of a new year. This morning , as we reflect upon this new year, I would to share with you once again a Podcast message entitled “The Only Resolutions that Matter for 2019”. It is my hope that this year’s resolutions will remember Christ and our personal relationship and worship with Him.

How about You?

As the year 2018 draws to a close, what kind of year has it been for you? Has it been a year to cherish or a year to quickly forget? Whatever the year’s tone for us, this week fills us with hope. A hope that a new year will bring a change for us. A chance for a fresh new start- a new beginning. And with that many of us make new year resolutions- pledges or promises to yourself or to God that you will personally be different this year.

This morning I want to focus upon some new year’s resolutions that each of should consider for ourselves, but before we delve into our topic, I thought you might enjoy a few stories of failed resolutions:

Story Number 1

A story is told that At the beginning of a new year, a high school principal decided to post his teachers’ new year’s resolutions on the bulletin board. As the teachers gathered around the bulletin board, a great commotion started. One of the teachers was complaining. “Why weren’t my resolutions posted?” She was throwing such a temper tantrum that the principal hurried to his office to see if he had overlooked her resolutions. Sure enough, he had mislaid them on his desk. As he read her resolutions he was astounded. This teacher’s first resolution was not to let little things upset her in the New Year.

Story Number 2

Or how bout this one…A son called his parents to wish them a happy new year and when his Dad answered the phone, He asked his dad,” well Dad, what’s your new year’s resolution? His dad replied, To make “To make your mother as happy as I can all year,” When his mom got on the phone he asked. her the same question. His mom replied my resolution is “To see that your dad keeps his New Year’s resolution.”

Or some of you may have given up on resolutions taking the same attitude as the characters in the cartoon Calvin and Hobbes:

The cartoon character Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes once said, “God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I’m so far behind I’ll never die.”

Regardless of past successes or failures… I want you to give a new year resolution one more try but this time realize that keeping this promise is a team effort. Invite the Holy Spirit to join you this year…
