Exchanged Life DiscipleshipChapter 11 of the book, Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.
This study looks at examples from scripture of people who failed miserably, but discovered that their failure put them into the position of success. Once they fell short, it became the opportunity to discover that true power comes from God. When we think God is disappointed or angry, the truth is that God is preparing us to receive His work in us, but that experience can only happen when self-effort is out of the way.
Chapter 10 of Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.
This study looks at how God torn the veil of the temple to expose the holiest place of God to every person, including sinners. Once Christ died to take away sin, there is now no barrier between us and God, and we can freely come to Him without the fear of sin, and without the fear of His anger.
Covers chapter 9.
This lesson looks at some of the problem scriptures that cause people to doubt their relationship with God. What does the Bible mean when it says, if someone sins willfully, there remains no more sacrifice for sin? Or if someone falls away, it’s not possible to be renewed again to repentance? These scriptures are often misused to overthrow the faith of Christians, but if we examine the context and the purpose of these passages, it is quite the opposite of what people are often taught. These were intended to instruct, offer hope, and establish our confidence in Christ. It is not a message of condemnation.
Chapter 8 of Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.
In this section, we’ll look at how Jesus taught us how to prepare for the storms of life. Anything founded upon self (including religious works) is building on sand, but faith teaches us how to anchor in Christ. The Apostle Peter was focused on what he was doing, and what he would do for Jesus, and this led to him denying Christ when life became bigger than he was. But out of that failure, God established him in success by shifting his foundation from trusting in his efforts to establishing his faith in Christ.
The study on Chapter 7 of Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.
Does your sin have the power to defeat God’s work in your life? Religion loves the concept of an angry God taking vengeance on people who fall short of the rules, but the truth is that Jesus defeated sin, and the Christian walk is about learning how to walk in the Promise of the abundant life. The cross removed any doubt of God’s love toward you. What’s more is that the Bible says that if we were saved while we were sinners, how much more does God save us now that we are His. We are called to believe in His gifts of righteousness, and trust in His power instead of trusting in the power of sin.
