Vision Doesn't Stick

Not This Again Week 1

Key Point: The only thing harder then learning something new, is unlearning something old.

Reasons we struggle to embrace the new:

1. Conflicting messages 
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

2. Forgetfulness

2 Peter 3:1-2, 8-9 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Key Point: Vision doesn’t stick, it has to be re-presented over and over.
