Every one of us has something we would give anything to get. Right now, many of us would give anything to get back to normal. But, as Steven Furtick asks in this message, “What if God is trying to bring us into a new normal?” What if there’s a better way to live than what we’re used to? What would we be willing to give up to get that? Romans 12 verse 1 teaches us about patterns of thought that, although normal to the world, need to be renewed in our minds. We think negatively! We tell ourselves we could never do enough, never have enough and never be enough to be accepted. But God says that’s not normal. And His message of grace, if you’re willing to hear it, is telling you, “Don’t Let Negative Become Your Normal.”
