Have you ever sat down at the end of a long day and thought, Why does everything feel so... stuck? Maybe you’re tired of trying to make a change only to slip back into the same old habits. Or maybe figuring out where to begin feels impossible.
You’re not alone.
But what if I told you there’s a way to move forward—not by taking giant leaps or making drastic resolutions that fizzle out in a week—but by making small, intentional choices that lead to extraordinary change over time?
That’s exactly what our new sermon series, Living an Ordinary Life Extraordinarily Well is all about. Over the next few weeks, we’re diving into the truth that your thoughts, words, and habits don’t just shape your days—they shape your destiny.
This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level inspiration. It’s about stepping into the new year with confidence, hope, and a clear vision for living an extraordinary life. And I want you to be part of it.
Why This Series Is for You
Let me paint a picture for you.
Have you felt frustrated by failure? You’ve set goals before. You’ve made promises to yourself: This is the year I’m finally going to stick to it! But then life happens, and you fall short. That frustration starts to whisper, Maybe change isn’t possible for you.
Do you feel stuck lost without direction? If your thoughts feel like a runaway train and your words sometimes add fuel to the fire instead of putting it out, it’s no wonder you feel unsteady.
What about apathy? Maybe the disappointment of the past has made it hard to believe that you can move forward at all.
Or perhaps the habits that were meant to help have become the very things hurting you. Whether it’s how you spend your time, the way you manage your emotions, or even your relationships, you’ve tried to change, but the old patterns just won’t let go.
Does any of that resonate?
If so, this series isn’t just for you—it’s designed with you in mind.
What to Expect Each Week
This isn’t just another sermon series. It’s a journey—one that will lead you to discover how to live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.
Here’s how:
Choosing A Word For This Year
It starts with a single word. Not a long list of resolutions, not an overwhelming to-do list—just one word. This word will serve as your anchor, your guide, and your reminder of what God wants to grow in you this year.
Imagine waking up every day with clarity and purpose, knowing this word is shaping your choices and helping you stay the course.
Taking Your Thoughts Captive
Did you know that the way you think determines the direction of your life? It’s true. But so often, our thoughts run wild with fear, doubt, or negativity. This week, we’ll dive into what it means to “take every thought captive” and make it obedient to Christ.
You’ll learn practical ways to redirect your mind, silence the lies, and replace them with the truth of God’s Word.
Speaking Words of Life, Not Death
Our words are powerful. They can build up or tear down, give life or drain it. If you’ve ever wished you could rewind and take back something you said, you know exactly what I mean.
This week will help you transform your speech so that it aligns with the abundant life God has for you—and blesses everyone around you.
Developing Habits for Growth
Change doesn’t happen in an instant. It happens in the daily, small decisions we make. This week is all about creating habits that stick—ones that will set you up for long-term growth and a future filled with promise.
Why You’ll Want to Keep Coming Back
Here’s the thing: This isn’t just about showing up for a sermon and going home. It’s about transformation—real, lasting transformation.
You’ll leave each week feeling:
Hopeful about the future and confident that change is possible.
Empowered to take control of your thoughts and align them with God’s truth.
Encouraged by a community of people walking the same journey alongside you.
Excited to see how these small changes add up to big results over time.
Who Will You Invite?
I’m willing to bet there’s someone in your life right now who needs this message just as much as you do. A friend, a coworker, a family member.
What if this series could be the spark that changes not just your life, but theirs too?
Take a moment to think about who you could invite. Imagine the impact it could have—not
just for the next few weeks, but for years to come.
Your Next Step
Are you ready to take the first step toward living an ordinary life extraordinarily well?
Mark your calendar. Invite a friend. And come expectant.
This is more than a series. It’s an invitation to the kind of life you’ve been longing for. A life filled with purpose, peace, and the power of small, consistent steps toward who God created you to be.
We’ll see you there, and we can’t wait to take this journey with you.
Your thoughts matter. Your words matter. Your habits matter. And they’re about to change your future.
See you Sunday!
