Truth Over Lies: week 3

Posted on by

“LIES ABOUT YOU” (PART 1) Day2

THE LIE: “You Can’t Change”

Read: Hebrews 13:20-21; Philippians 4:13 and SOAP: Hebrews 13:20-21

THE TRUTH: Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen!

Hebrews 13:20-21

Sometimes we experience something that grasps hold of us and we can’t seem to shake. We begin to believe the lie that we cannot change. We will always be a victim. We will always struggle with the addiction. Yet, God’s Word powerfully refutes these lies.

READ: Exodus 3:1-14 and 4:1-11; 1 Peter 2:9; Philippians 4:13, Ephesians 2:10; 

SOAP: Exodus 4:11

THE TRUTH: The Lord said to him, “Who gave a mouth to man, or who makes a person mute or deaf or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Exodus 4:11

A lie we often believe about ourselves is that we are not enough. You are not_______ enough. Immediately, a little lie probably crept into your mind. Inadequacy, incompetency, insufficiency.

In Jesus I Am … A Conqueror

Posted on by
Week 4, Day 5
READ AND SOAP: 1 JOHN 4:4

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

1 John 4:4 NLT

Reflection Questions:

  • How are you empowered to fight against the enemy’s schemes every day?
  • How can you overcome the enemy through the power of Christ?

Through our time together in this study on identity, we have learned that who we are is not about anything we have done, but who God is and what He has done for us.

In Jesus I Am … Empowered

Posted on by

Week 4, Day 4

READ: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-11, 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9; SOAP: PHILIPPIANS 4:13

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13 NLT

Reflection Questions:

  • What does it mean that we are able to do all things through Christ?
  • How can you find peace in your weakness or in difficult circumstances knowing He is always working, even in your weakness?

In God’s kingdom, we are at our strongest when we are weak, and we are our most independent when we are dependent on God. Our verse today does not mean that we should do all things, but that we can find joy as we rely on God to empower and equip us to do the work He calls us to do.

In Jesus You Are … Equipped

Posted on by

WEEK 4, DAY 3

2 Timothy 3:16-17; SOAP: Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT

Reflection Questions:

  • What specific good works have you seen God equip and prepare you for?
  • How have you seen Him work through your strengths and gifts to advance His kingdom or encourage others?

God will equip us for the work, not because He knows we can do it perfectly, but because we are His creation, masterfully, intentionally, and creatively designed.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.

Reflection Questions:

  • In what ways do you see God’s blessing on your life?
  • How has He given you every spiritual blessing in Christ?

In Paul’s letter to the early church in Ephesus, the blessing he wrote about had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with the gifts we receive as believers. Read the full LGG devotional –
