Growing Up by Going Through (Pt.1) // Pastor Roy Barrett
Manage episode 484270864 series 2315320
One of God’s greatest priorities for lives is leading us into spiritual growth moments. These are often unavoidable & unexplainable life experiences; which on the surface can seem mainly about us living in discouragement or disappointment. BUT… the truth is, it’s a strategic time for our spiritual development!
Focus Scripture: Exodus 13:17-18;14:10-15
Three truths about growth:
- Physical growth comes by time
- Educational growth comes by learning
- Spiritual growth comes through obedience
When life gets tough, I can choose:
- Flight - run away or avoid encountering what is before me
- Fight - assume a responsibility as if victory is based on my ability & resources
- Freeze - get stuck like where I am by acting as if nothing is happening
- Faith - act in accordance with God's instructions and directions no matter what they are
The Big So What:
When going through, there's always something to do; but what's most important is doing the one thing God is asking me to do. TRUST & OBEY
This Week's Challenge:
- Read Exodus 14th chapter 2x
- Memorize Exodus 14:14
- Journal - ask God for two things He's asking you to do - now!
- Action - set an alarm for 3x a day thankful/grateful praise break
Joins us on Sundays! Our 9:15am worship experience takes place in-person only while our 11:15am is both in-person and online (via the DLC App & YouTube).
