Understanding our sinful nature can be surprisingly encouraging, as it sheds light on why we face struggles in life and why people sometimes act in selfish or hurtful ways. Recognizing our own sinfulness fosters humility, helping us become less judgmental and more compassionate and loving toward others. This week, we’ll explore what it truly means to have a sinful nature and how God graciously offers to transform it into something beautiful.
How do we strengthen our foundation to handle whatever life brings? We often get discouraged because we don’t have enough discipline to do what we know we should. What if we examined our beliefs? Do we believe what we say we believe? What if our beliefs determine our behavior? Which then determines who we become. How can we let God transform our beliefs? Thus enabling us to become who God created us to be.
Most people don't like change and another word for change is the word transition. What if God wants to use transition to grow you and move you forward in a life of following Him. The message explores how God uses Wilderness season transitions to challenge our comfort and build our trust in Jesus.
Follow-up/Application:
• What are some transitions in your life that have been difficult, but have been used as growth phases in your life?
• What are some current changes and transitions that are challenging for you?
• How can you use these times of uncertainty to connect with God?
Spend time this week writing out prayers asking God to build your relational trust in Him as He leads you through times of transition. Write down any worries, fears or stresses, that these transitions highlight as prayer points for your time with God.
