12 Steps – Step 10: “Continuing to Move Forward”

nwcog — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:50:37 +0000

The pull of sin, with all of its deceptive and delusional power, hovers about us day in and day out and is “just a decision away” from throwing us back into fear and confusion.

Its goal is to lure you and me into thinking that “we’ve arrived” as it patiently waits for us to relax in our over confident self, only to strike us again with full force.

In today’s message, Pastor Jeff invites us to persistently and consistently take an inward look at what is going on in our heads and hearts so that we might not only stay on the right path, but continue to move forward in our journey to the better life.

In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will take up this subject matter and issue a challenge for each of us to do our part in reconciling our relationships and making amends to those we’ve hurt or harmed.

Do you ever suffer from the delusion of your own grandiosity? Does it make you uncomfortable to ask someone else for help?

Today, Pastor Jeff invites us to discover the meaning of humility as he challenges us to “take our hands off” the master control of our lives and ask God to make us into His kind of people, in His way, and on His timetable.

It has been said that “confession is good for the soul”, but if that’s true, why is it such a scary proposition and why do we find so many reasons to shrink away from it?

In this fifth step, Pastor Jeff challenges us to confess our wrongs before God and others while expounding upon the hope and healing that takes place in a persons life when they “come clean”.
