Shownotes

The Baptism of Jesus- Luke 3:21-22

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, ²² and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son;^[a] with thee I am well pleased.”

Starting Fresh: What areas of you life need a new beginning?

Areas to consider:

• How can you love your spouse better and strengthen your marriage?
• Does something need to change in the way you approach your relationship with your child?
• Is there a way you can be more generous with your community? How might God be calling you give more of yourself to others?
• Do you need to re-prioritize prayer in your life? 
• Is there a bad habit God is inviting you to address and change?
