Let Go to Begin Anew - Season 4, Episode 151

We often desire change in our lives—whether spiritual transformation, better health, stronger relationships, or greater purpose—yet we resist the sacrifice required to achieve it. Pastor Dorrell examines 2 Corinthians 5:17 to argue that becoming a "new creature" in Christ demands intentional relinquishment of old patterns, habits, and even good activities that hinder spiritual growth. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1, Philippians 3:13-14, and the example of Martha in Luke 10, he illuminates the principle that progress requires exchange: something must die for something new to flourish. The sermon challenges listeners to audit their lives honestly and ask what they must release—whether sinful attitudes, anxious thoughts, or benign distractions—to pursue what God has called them to do.
