What is your biggest goal for the coming year?

Lose weight?

Get healthier?

Spend more time with your family?

Get your finances in better shape?

Accomplish something you’ve been putting off?

Those can all be worthwhile goals.

And if you’re a Christian, perhaps your resolutions include reading your Bible more consistently, praying more faithfully, attending church, giving more generously, or serving in some new way.

But what if you did all those things—and still missed the most important goal?

Because Scripture points us toward something deeper than a spiritual to-do list.

It reaches beyond what we do to why we do it.

Beyond religious activity to the heart.

So what should be the overriding goal of every believer—not just this year, but every year?

Micah gives us part of the answer.

And it may change the way we think about every other resolution we make.

Then in Revelation 11, we meet two extraordinary witnesses who preach and prophesy during the Tribulation with God-given power.

Their enemies will finally kill them.

The world will celebrate their deaths.

But what happens three and a half days later will turn that celebration into terror.
