What You Can Do In 2014

Spiritual evaluation: Are you a more productive Christian on Jan. 12, 2014, than you were on Jan. 12, 2013?

II Corinthians 13:5; James 1:22-25.We’ve all set goals in life: lose weight; save

money; advance professionally; educational progress.

What are the goals here at Haynes Street?Eph. 3:20-21: Goals may seem lofty, but

remember that God can do more than we ask or think.
