SERMON OUTLINE ANNUAL SPIRITUAL EXAMEN A prayerful reflection on the past year and preparation for the next.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2

NOTES

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.” —Proverbs 11:30 (NIV)

In January, Peachtree Church will begin a yearlong journey through Cultivate: Life Together in the Spirit, inviting our whole congregation to grow in faith together. Every month we will explore a different fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control— and discover how God nurtures these qualities in our lives. Join us as we look forward to a year of deeper transformation and a closer walk with Jesus.

We believe lasting transformation happens best in community. We hope you will consider being part of a Belong Group where you’ll have access to monthly resources like: Teaching Videos Podcast Conversations Written Group Guides
