Sermon:

Title: "A Fresh Start: Embracing the New Month"

Text: Psalm 90:12-17

As we begin a new month, we are given a fresh opportunity to start anew. Just as the calendar turns over, so too can our lives. We can leave behind the mistakes of the past and move forward with hope and anticipation.

In Psalm 90, we read the words of Moses, who prays to God to teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. He asks God to help us to live wisely, to make the most of the time we have, and to use it to glorify Him.

As we enter this new month, let us ask God to help us to do the same. Let us ask Him to teach us to number our days, to make the most of the time we have, and to use it to bring glory to His name.

But it's not just about making the most of our time. It's also about making the most of our lives. Let us ask God to help us to live intentionally, to live with purpose, and to live with passion. Let us ask Him to help us to use our talents, our gifts, and our resources to make a difference in the world.

As we begin this new month, let us remember that we are not alone. We are part of a community of believers, and we are all in this together. Let us support and encourage one another, and let us ask God to help us to be a blessing to those around us.

So let us pray, dear God, that You would teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Help us to make the most of the time we have, and to use it to bring glory to Your name. Help us to live intentionally, to live with purpose, and to live with passion. And help us to be a blessing to those around us. Amen.
