Four Reasons Strongholds Are Hard To Break | 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 | Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal
Strongholds are fortified patterns of thinking that are stubbornly resistant to God’s Word and God’s will.
Wherever you’re stuck, whether a destructive sin or hidden addiction – to find freedom, you must get honest and take care of your heart. And nothing will be different until you think differently.
Defeating a stronghold requires confronting sin and failures with humility. But don’t be discouraged, by God’s grace you CAN destroy those patterns and walls of sin, addiction and shame.
Let’s Get Way Behind |2 Corinthians 2 | Overcoming Rejection and Betrayal
Addiction is a heart sickness and a broken crutch. We encounter addiction every day in our ministry. In this new series, we begin grappling with its source.
Addiction is a way of thinking that must change if sobriety is going to last. If you are working to get victory in your behavior, don’t miss this: The critical battle is to change your thoughts.
You have to get behind an addiction to fight it properly – and it cannot be won with earthly weapons. When your first action in the battle is to reach for flesh weapons, the war will soon be lost.
Let’s bring the truth of God’s Word to the chains of addiction, and hope for those in its shackles…
The Day of the Lord: Hope or No Hope? | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 | Hope Springs Eternal
First Thessalonians is sobering yet hopeful, warning us of judgement to come for unbelievers – but great hope for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Those far from the Lord will instantly awake to the totality of their reality error. But those who are alive in Christ will be rescued by the rapture to watch in safety from the balconies of Heaven.
Take time to learn (or be reminded of) these incredibly important truths in God’s Word about what is to come…
What Every Mother Wants | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 | Hope Springs Eternal
The older I get, the more I realize how little I knew when I knew it all.
Even in my pride, my mother’s example and wisdom continually guided me to make better choices and brought me closer to God. Kids will be blessed by their parents’ wise choices – and bent toward their parents’ bad choices.
Some facets of God’s design for women can apply for us all. Even the apostle Paul said, “I was like a nursing mother, taking care of her own children,” as he focused on the needs of the churches in a very personal way.
Take time to open your Bible and your heart to God’s Word for you in 1 Thessalonians 4.
