This sermon by Pastor Ray Seto focuses on New Year's resolutions and what it means to live wisely according to God's word, drawing heavily from Psalm 1.

Key points of the sermon:

• Defining "Good": The sermon challenges the congregation to consider what is truly "good" and "wise" (31:10), contrasting human perception with God's definition as presented in Psalm 1.

• The Blessed Man vs. The Wicked: Pastor Ray describes the "blessed man" as someone who delights in and meditates on the law of the Lord (34:52). This is contrasted with the wicked, who scoff at God's law and whose ways ultimately perish (32:06).

• The Deceptive Nature of Sin: The sermon highlights how the ways of sinners and scoffers often appear attractive and offer promises of fun, happiness, and freedom (36:41). However, God says these ways do not lead to true happiness or blessing (39:36).

• God's Law as Grace: Instead of being restrictive, God's law is presented as an act of His grace and love, designed to help individuals be and have the best (47:20).

• Jesus as the Ideal Man: The sermon culminates by identifying Jesus Christ as the only man in human history who perfectly embodies the "blessed man" described in Psalm 1 (56:08). Jesus is presented as "the way" (57:20), the true vine (57:50), and the one through whom believers can bear fruit and truly prosper (59:01).

• New Year's Resolution: Choose Jesus: The ultimate call to action is to choose Jesus and His ways, especially when tempted to sin, as this is the path to true fulfillment and being the best version of oneself (1:00:19).
