INTRO: When have your plans been completely wrecked?

OUR RELIGIOUS INSTINCT
How are our religious instincts a problem?

GOD’S GRACIOUS PROVISION
What if our security and standing with God are not determined by what we attempt for the LORD, but only by what He has done for us?

A COMPLETE REVERSAL
What if I’m finally and eternally secure in what Jesus did for me?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD for His goodness and power over all evil. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for His ability to establish forever all that is good and to conquer – ultimately and finally – all that is wrong.

2. How have you lived as if you can earn goodness (so God isn’t really necessary)? Confess your unbelief in God’s holiness to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you for treating Him as if He can be bought.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for His work to solve the greatest problem you really have (removing your guilt, making you whole). Thank Him for working to do what you cannot do, to change what you cannot change.

4. Who will you know that believes they must work for God instead of trusting God’s work for them in Christ? Pray for them asking God to open your heart toward them and to make His love known to them.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you see your need of God’s grace. Pray for His work to empower you to cease from trying to “build God a house” and trust His promises to build your life for His good mission.

Looking Back
The Facilitator is a study tool designed to help you engage with the weekly sermon through the five elements we incorporate in our Community Groups; Get Acquainted & Sharing, Sermon Study, Mission, Worship and Prayer. This tool will be made available Monday morning to give us the opportunity to look back at what we heard on Sunday.
