The Crooked shall be made Straight
Luke 3:2-6

* Here in these verses we see the ministry of John the Baptist. His message was in vs. 3, a message of repentance for the remission of sins. But in vs. 5 is an explanation of how God deals. I want us to focus on “the crooked shall be made straight.” Crooked means not straight or out of shape. I’m sure this past year, some may have gotten bent out of shape over some things, or some wasn’t as straight as they could have been. Let’s look to some things we need to make straight this new year. We need to pray to God.

1. Goals; Romans 12:2

A. something we work for and towards
B. God= what have we done for Him
C. Family= what have we done for them
D. Church= what have we done in it

2. Gratitude; Luke 17:12-19

A. gratitude is shown in attitude
B. are you thankful

3. Giving; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

A. of yourself
B. of your time
C. of your tenth

4. Ground; 1 Samuel 30:1-8

A. take back the ground, we have lost to the enemy
B. stop giving ground to the devil

Conclusion: Ask the Lord to straighten the crooked things in your life, and get some things straight for this New Year coming for the Lord.
