"Are you an old wineskin or a new one?

Pastor's message on Sunday challenged us to examine the state of our spiritual lives. Just as new wine requires new wineskins, God's fresh work in our lives demands renewed hearts and minds.

"36 He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins." Luke 5:36-38 

Key takeaways:

• Ask God to expose areas where you're still operating in old patterns

• Be outward-focused, not just inward-protective as believers

• Embrace change and allow the Holy Spirit to stretch you
