“God uses the finite for infinite, eternal purposes.”

“Big things start small. Rather than getting overwhelmed with the thought of changing the world, there are small steps we can all take in our own lives and communities that can have a real impact.”   Goapele 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”                          John 10:10 (NIV)

6 Then the LORD said, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was leprous, like snow. (I’ve nearly passed out because of things like that) 7 “Now put it back into your cloak,” he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh. 8 Then the LORD said, “If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first miraculous sign, they may believe the second. 9 But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.” 10 Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”         Exodus 4:6-10 (NIV)

“When God created man in His own image He was saying ‘man will be unlike anything I created. No other created being has a mind to know Me. A heart to love Me. Therefore no other created being has a destiny like this created being has. We’ll make Him distinct. Only humans will have imago Dei, the image of God, stamped on them.’ What a privileged position.”                      Charles Swindoll

FOUR TACTICS OF OUR ENEMY

Tactic #1: DISTRACTIONS
Tactic #2: DISTORTION
Tactic #3: DECEPTION
Tactic #4: DEVALUE

 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.                Romans 5:8 (NIV)SATAN’S GOAL:     YOUR DESTRUCTION!

8 Be careful watch out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry, roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart.                          1 Peter 5:8 (TLB)

GOD’S PLAN:          YOUR RESTORATION!

11 The LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”                                    Exodus 4:11-12 (NIV)

RESTORING STOLEN IDENTITY

1. KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST
2. REPENT
3. ASK FOR HEALING AND IDENTITY RESTORATION
4. TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE
5. BUILD SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES into your DAILY ROUTINE
6. DON’T WALK ALONE

What do you fear?

Join us for our “Kick Off” Sunday, October 1st, 10:00 am

The future? Commitment? Failure? Loneliness? Death? God?

Fear is something we all face, but it doesn’t have to paralyze us. At New Life Community, we are going on a 40 day journey to look at how to transform fear to faith through a true, biblical understanding of who God is and who He created us to be.
