Humility is not about putting ourselves down, but rather putting God where He belongs, on the throne. As we see God’s position clearly, as we see His holiness, we become more aware of our need for Him.

We are not God, nor can we be, nor should we be. When we lift Him up, He will lift us up in His timing. He gives us grace, purifies us, and sends us with a purpose.

God has many names in the Bible and they all point to His character. When we remember His names and remember who He is, it increases our trust in Him.

Being devoted to Jesus means giving ourselves fully to him and it has to involve heart transformation.

To express our devotion to Him, we must devote ourselves to these habits: The Word, prayer, community, and service.

Sabbath is a day to rest, delight, and worship. In Exodus, it is commanded and the Israelites are told to remember creation. In Deuteronomy, it is commanded and the Israelites are told to remember their freedom from slavery.

In Hebrews 4 and today, we can rest in Jesus and what he did for us on the cross. Because Jesus is always with us, we can always rest in him. This is a Sabbath state of mind.

A soldier stays focused on the mission, an athlete plays by the rules, and a farmer works hard. What these three people have in common is perseverance.

The enemy will try to get us to discourage us, so we must be strong and endure. God is present with us and will help us to remain focused, obedient, and hard-working. We can persevere.

We are in a battle, but God has given us access to His Armor. When we put on the FULL armor, the enemy has no chance.

God gives us armor and tools for defense and offense. He has given us all that we need. Let’s put on the full armor everyday, pray, and fight the good fight.

The world will have a lot to say about who we are or who we should be, but what matters more is who God says we are!

Let’s take a look at the truth in Scripture of who we are to God. Let His words make up our core identities.

Being a disciple of Jesus means we need to spend time with him so we can learn from him and then we can live like him.

When we live like Jesus, people will know something is different and then we can introduce them to him. Let’s take a look at some of the things Jesus did during his time on Earth.
