Giving God the opportunity to show how much he cares
One of the defining crises of midlife is refusing to admit the truth to ourselves that we’re getting older.”
The idea of control gives us the illusion that we can prevent, manage, and will our lives towards certain outcomes.
The New Testament Christians were unstoppable because they had such an unwavering faith, convinced of God’s purpose for them.
When life gets hard and unexpected challenges take their toll, it’s easy to start making compromises.
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.
Guilt is overwhelming, but God can free us from it. We must learn how to deal with guilt biblically so that we don’t get overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety, and emotionalism it causes.
When we live with a genuine faith in God, we are not afraid to dream, imagine, sacrifice, or take risks. Our confidence is in the God of Scripture, whose presence and power flow through those who have chosen to believe.
Faith makes the impossible possible. Our relationship with God should produce the kind of faith that moves mountains.
God orchestrates the people we encounter and the relationships we build, so that he can use us to change lives.
In this study, we’ll take a few steps in the journey of discovering God to get to know how kind and loving he really is.
We can learn to start each new day aware of the strengths and talents God has given to us, and consider how he wants to work in our lives to change the world.
