Restart

2 Corinthians 5: 17 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

Have you ever wanted to restart your life?  Burdened and weighed down by past mistakes, failures, or relationships, you simply want a new start in life?  People do this all the time, usually by things like taking on a new look, losing weight, moving to a different city, or taking a new job (if the opportunity arises).

The bad news is:  ultimately these surface changes don't get to core issues, which are often deeper and more internal.

The good news is (if you believe it, and I hope you do) you can get a restart, or reboot on your life, yet it ONLY happens in Jesus Christ.

Why is that?  Because only in Jesus are you allowed to humbly repent and be forgiven of your sins.  Only in Jesus can the past truly be past and erased.  After all, if you give your life to Him, He's not concerned with your past - and He's God of the Universe - so why should you be!!!!  

After you've released your past sins, He's also there to help you move forward in faith.  He is always present with you by the Holy Spirit, and He has given us His Body in a church - a fellowship of broken people who are to love, edify, correct, and shape one another in Christ.

This is Good News!  Unfortunately, so many people don't even pursue it.  Instead, they put on their band-aids of moving to a new house, new city, new job, new look, new friends, new everything else - except new life in Christ.

At Bellwether, we want everyone to have a TRUE restart:  centered in Christ.  Where people repent, receive forgiveness, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit within the fellowship of a local church.  This can happen to anyone.  This can happen to you!  

Even more, at Bellwether, we are undergoing a restart, reboot, relaunch, whatever you wish to call it.  What is it?  We're not going anywhere anytime soon - it's an internal reboot.  Bellwether is redefining who we are, what we believe in, what our "DNA" is.  So  what is that?  For starters:  our church is a place that offers second chance grace to everyone, that proclaims the Word of God, and Shepherds people to live holy lives.  We are redefining TO YOU what our church is about so YOU WILL KNOW and you can COMMUNICATE it better to others.  

Bellwether begins it's restart this Sunday at 10:30am.  We hope you will be there.   Even more, we want you to always know:  the only restart you will get in life is by Jesus Christ.  As His Church, we will help make that a reality any way we can.  Start new today - by Christ.
