Halftime Adjustments

Jun 29, 2025    Pastor Arthur J. James

As we approach the midpoint of 2025, it's time for us to make some crucial halftime adjustments in our spiritual journey. Drawing inspiration from Lamentations 3:40, we're called to examine our ways and turn back to the Lord. This powerful message challenges us to reassess five key areas of our lives: our attitude, health, finances, vision, and focus. Just as a sports team makes strategic changes during halftime, we too must realign ourselves with God's purpose. The story of the 2017 Super Bowl, where the Patriots made a historic comeback, serves as a poignant reminder that with the right adjustments and mindset, we can overcome any deficit in our lives. Are we playing to win or just trying not to lose? By cultivating an attitude of gratitude, prioritizing our physical and spiritual health, managing our resources wisely, clarifying our God-given vision, and sharpening our focus, we position ourselves for a victorious second half. Let's strip away the weights that hinder us and run with endurance the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
