The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
Looking at two key areas in my life that stop me from being motivated to build relationships: pride and insecurity.
Learning to understand your fear and how to overcome it.
Learning why we distance so we can learn how to draw closer to God.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
God doesn’t want us to feel like we have to conform in order to be accepted, and wants to help us become strong enough to stand for what we believe and who we are.
This study focuses on the stories of Saul and David, in order to get a better understanding of what it means to be fake and what it means to be real.
A courageous person is someone who isn’t shaken by circumstances, may experience fear but doesn’t live in it, and is secure and strong no matter what. Does this describe you?
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
In order to dig deep, we have to be willing to go through the process of discovering who we really are and what’s really in our hearts. We often like to stay superficial and avoid this process. Strain exposes who we really are. How do you handle the strain in your life? What comes out? How deeply rooted are you and able to handle the strain of life?
Where do you get your security from? When we base our identity on things that can change, like our appearance, our abilities, or the attention we receive, we will tend to be insecure.
