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.

No Comments on Sin Can’t Defeat Love – Lesson 7

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.

Study of Chapter 6 of Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.

The Great Exchange. How the cross gives us the promise of exchanging our sins for righteousness, and our life in the flesh for the abundant life of the Spirit. Religion pushes the work of Christ aside, but by faith we receive His completed work as a gift of God’s grace.

The Good News – Lesson 5

Chapter 5 of the book, Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.

Religion paints a picture of God that is toxic and demanding. In human relationships, if someone constantly demands more than we can give, we understand this is toxic and unhealthy. Somehow we have learned to accept the image of a demanding God as normal. The truth is that God is love, and the Bible states that love does not demand, seek its own, or keep records of the wrongs of others. God removed sin by taking our sins upon Himself, so we can be free to live in peace with God without fear. The word ‘gospel’ means ‘good news’. If our view of the Christian life is not good news, then we have lost sight of the true message of faith in Christ.

No Comments on The Gift of Perfection – Lesson 4

Chapter 4 of the book, Weakness is Your Greatest Strength.

Many Christians get discouraged as they try to become holy, sanctified, perfected, and overcomers in this life. They don’t realize that God has given His perfection as a gift, and our call is to learn how to walk in what He has already done for us. Our transformation into His perfection is found in the promise that as we focus on Christ, we are transformed into His likeness by the power of the Spirit within us. As we learn how to trust in the gifts of His love, the fruit of righteousness will begin to emerge in our daily lives.
