How to turn your life around

2024/12/22 | Leo Bigger

In this sermon Leo Bigger urges you to turn your life around by embracing an awakening: acknowledge what’s wrong, receive forgiveness, and plant new seeds before the year ends. Main idea: Jesus calls you to do the work now (John 9:4), and the Jewish practice of 30 days before the new year models intentional renewal. Practical takeaway: celebrate forgiveness, crucify your ego, stop sowing bad seeds (anger, lust, envy), and deliberately sow healthy habits—prayer, generosity, compassion—so dust doesn’t settle in your soul. He gives simple steps: confess, let go, and renew regularly. Call to reflection/action: look in the mirror, ask God what to stop and start, and take one concrete step today toward repentance and renewal (see Leviticus 16).
