CHANGE BASED ON TRUTH (GOD’S WORD)

“AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.”

JOHN 8:32

THE SIMPLE TRUTH: GOD KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR LIVES; WE DON’T.

TO LIVE A TRULY BREAKAWAY LIFE, WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TRUTH ABOUT GOD AND SUBMIT OUR DECISIONS & PLANS TO HIS WISDOM ABOVE OUR OWN.

Session 2:

EVERYONE WE HAVE MET OR EVER WILL ENCOUNTER IS VALUABLE TO GOD… SO MUCH THAT HE SENT HIS ONLY SON TO DIE FOR US.

THIS FACT ALONE IS ENOUGH TO REVOLUTIONIZE EVERY RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE.

Session 3:

GOD OWNS EVERYTHING WE HAVE. WE SIMPLY ARE MANAGERS OF HIS RESOURCES.

ALTHOUGH WE TEND TO THINK EARNING & SAVING ARE THE KEYS TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND OUR ROLE AS GOD’S STEWARDS.

Session 4:

Session 5: Something’s Up

IN ANCIENT TIMES, PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT THE EARTH WAS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, & THAT ALL OTHER HEAVENLY BODIES REVOLVED AROUND IT. BUT IN 1500s, COPERNICUS CHANGED ALL THAT. HENCE, IT CHANGED OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE FOREVER.

A SIMILAR SHIFT AWAITS US WHEN WE TRULY OPEN OUR HEARTS TO GOD’S PLAN FOR THE WORLD. LIKE ANCIENT THINKERS, WE TEND TO OPERATE AS IF GOD CREATED THE WORLD TO REVOLVE AROUND US. WE PRAY WITH EMPHASIS ON OUR NEEDS. WE STUDY SCRIPTURE TO IMPROVE OUR LIVES. WE MEASURE GOD’S GOODNESS BASED ON THE LEVEL OF EASE, COMFORT & PLEASEURE HE GRANTS US.

BUT WHEN THINGS DON’T GO OUR WAY, WE GET CONFUSED. SUDDENLY OUR WORLD VIEW DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.

IN THIS SESSION, WE’LL GET TO THE CORE OF A BELIEF THAT CAN CHANGE OUR ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE.

GOD IS UP TO SOME-THING IN THE WORLD. IT’S BIGGER THAN SOMETHING WE IMAGINED BEFORE.

AND ONCE WE’RE READY TO EMBRACE THIS REALITY, LIFE WILL START TO MAKE MUCH BETTER SENSE.
