Why New is Better Than Better
Matthew 9:14-17
1. Jesus came to be enjoyed, v. 15a
Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?
A. 1 Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever.
Matthew 11:16-19

2. Fasting is an expression of lament and longing, v. 14-15
Psalm 13

Four questions to restore your perspective...
a. What am I trusting in?
b. What am I rejoicing over?
c. What am I singing?
d. What am I remembering?

3. Jesus came to bring new not better, v. 16-17
Romans 6:1-4
Revelation 21:1-5

Mental worship...
1. Is your problem that you sin too much or that you don’t enjoy God enough?
2. Who or what do you most often turn to when you get tired of waiting on God?
3. Who in your life is tired of your efforts to get better?
4. What are you trusting in, rejoicing over, singing and remembering?

5. Where do you need to replace better with new?
