"Abounding in the Good Works of God" Series

To be a successful disciple requires self-discipline.  Like physical athletes, we are being encouraged by God to put forth lots of effort into carrying out his plan for our life.  It will not be easy.  When difficulties come our way, we need to remember that Jesus Christ endured even greater hardships.  And that he will be handing out eternal rewards to those who remain faithful in the carrying out of God’s will.

God has told us to expect to go through difficult times during our life here on earth.  Hardships cannot be avoided because the Devil is doing his best to orchestrate negative circumstances around us.  God is light and he is not responsible for the tribulations and calamities that we face.  However, he is always greater than those circumstances and if we turn to him, he will bring us great victory over them.  And we will grow spiritually in the process.

God is not mesmerized by titles or popularity.  We learn from this session that he is looking for leaders who are humble and carry a heart of service, being willing to do whatever it takes to fill the need of others.  We then look at what our service is to focus upon, which is in reaching out with his love to people both in our community and around the world.  To tell people about Jesus Christ and make disciples of them.

In this session we take a close look at the birth of Jesus Christ from his mother’s perspective.  We see that she was given this privilege by God’s grace and not because she deserved it.  We learn that God gives great ministries to those who are humble and are willing to put their trust in him.  When we do that, God follows through by making sure what he has called us to do comes to pass, according to his plan.  This is a session from the "Examples of Faith" series.

In this session we discover that God has given us extremely valuable promises.  When we got saved, our mind did not change.  We must choose whether we will seek after earthly riches or to serve God.  We cannot do both.  If we choose to serve God, he will prosper our path so that we can reach many people for his Kingdom.  Afterwards, he promises eternal rewards to those who are faithful in service to him.  This is session # 09 from the "Abounding in the Good Works of God" series.
