Pride is like a cancer in our Soul, it always causes more problems. Pride causes us deceive ourselves because we don't have a healthy view of ourselves. Pride causes us to puff our selves up and minimize others, which leads us to view others as objects not people, and when that happens there are always serious consequences.

Our challenge this week is to become selfless by thinking of you self less.

To some extent we are all Control Freaks. Wanting control is not the issue though its who or what we try control and why that become the issue. Throughout the Bible God has a lot to say about trusting Him, because the true route to happiness is submission, not control. Learn to trust Him more. Palms Down, Palms Up.

When we can see ourselves as we truly are, we will begin to see others as they truly are. Today we point out the issue of brokenness in our world. We are all broken and need of healing.

You can grow to the level of your pain tolerance or you can grow to your potential. Choose the second, choose to heal and face the pain. When you do, the world gets more hope.

No one is perfect and no church is perfect. We all have cracks & flaws. We all have issues. For anyone who doesn't think they have an issue- that is their issue (denial). In part 1 we give the issue a name- "crazy".

Today we are challenging unhealthy ways of thinking. Specifically thoughts that keep getting us the same results that we don't want. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Have a new thought.

What we focus on can become the only thing we see. God always wants to help us see more and to live for more.

Partner with God in the greatest mission imaginable: finding what is lost, restoring what's broken and reclaiming what's His.

Everyone is asking three questions about Identity, Security & Significance: Who am I?, Where do I belong?, and Why am I Here?

The reason is because God designed us to have an Identity, security, and significance.

To help others find answers to these questions we need to tell two stories.Our story woven with God's.

Living in 3D and sharing your faith is about 1. Developing Friendships 2. Discovering Stories & 3. Discerning Next Steps.

Introducing someone to the God who made them, who loves them and has a purpose for their life is the greatest gift you can give someone. A relationship with God changes everything. We do this by simply walking across the room.

When we live by principle the pressure is taken away because many of our choices are already made. And when we practice those principles we have peace. Here are a few to begin practicing when it comes to how we handle money.

Start with God. Create Margin. Be Generous. Be Consistent.

#wearetheGrove

Learn to live by principle, not pressure because when you do, most of your choices are already made and when you don't unwise choices are made especially when it comes to finances. How we handle money is the greatest indicator we have for what's most important in our lives. Learn to put God first and the results will always be more confidence in Him and more trust.
