“AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.” JOHN 8:32
Session 2: • 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 3: • 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 4: • 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 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 MAKESENSE.
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.
