Main Scripture: Hebrews 12:1–4
Pre-Recorded Live: December 29, 2024 — Deming, New Mexico
Relevant for: Entering 2025 and entering 2026

Description:
As we step from one year into the next, many believers make resolutions—hoping for change, growth, or a fresh start. But in “Look To Jesus,” based on Hebrews 12:1–4, we are reminded that real transformation doesn’t come from willpower or wishful thinking. It comes from fixing our eyes on Jesus—the Author and Finisher of our faith.

This message challenges us to shift our focus away from self-help, cultural “flavors” of Christianity, and the distractions that weigh us down. Instead, Scripture calls us to run our race with endurance by looking to Christ’s example: His humility, His obedience, His suffering, and His victory. What was true entering 2025 is still completely relevant as we move into 2026—perhaps even more so.

From this message, you will learn:
• Why most resolutions fail—and how looking to Jesus brings true life change
• How to lay aside every weight and sin that hinders spiritual growth
• What it means to follow Jesus with the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5–11)
• How Jesus’ endurance in suffering strengthens us against discouragement
• Why unity among believers matters deeply to Christ (John 17:20–23)
• How modern Christianity has become “contaminated” by cultural influences
• The dangers of embracing comfortable, altered versions of Christianity
• Why believers are strangers, pilgrims, and ambassadors—not citizens of this world (1 Peter 2:11; 2 Corinthians 5:20)
• Why keeping our eyes on Jesus protects us from deception in the last days
• How to live ready, watchful, and prepared for Christ’s return

This message is a call to reject the false, divisive, and worldly flavors of Christianity that distract from Jesus Himself. As we enter a new year—and as the world grows darker and more divided—our hope is not in trends, leaders, politics, or personal goals.
Our hope is in Christ alone.

If you are seeking direction, strength, clarity, unity, or spiritual renewal, the answer is simple and powerful:
Look to Jesus.
Not to personalities.
Not to culture.
Not to the world.
Only Him.
