Summary

God doesn't sprinkle change. He immersed Abraham in His promises by changing what he saw, said, heard, and even where he lived. Revealing His purpose to Abraham and having him leave his culture was an incredible call to truly transform his life. He is forever known as the father of our faith, and through him the worlds was blessed.

Summary

We all wear labels. Some of those labels are good, and some of them are from traumatic moments or from careless words that others have spoken. Sometimes they are because of disappointments, and out internal dialogue has become scarred. God has called you to be: His Child, A Man of Faith, Righteous, Bold, Loving, Wise. Simon, the "reed" became Peter, "the rock". Discuss the power of Peter's new name? Why did Jesus change his name?

Spiritual:

Memorize Ephesians 2:10: For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Review the other memory verses. Say them out loud. Speak them over your life. Make sure they don't drop off. Start to read through the book of Proverbs. Read one chapter a day for the next thirty days. Highlight key verses so you can look back later.

Spiritual:

Memorize or meditate on Hebrews 4:14-16. Pray the prayer of the apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:15-20 over your life, your family, and your church. Don't just pray it once. Start to make this a consistent prayer that you pray for years. Add these few verses to the ones you have spent time on already. For more reading on this topic, I highly suggest The God I Never Knew by Robert Morris, Surprised by the Voice of God by Jack Deere, and Overdrive by Steve Kelly.

Physical:

What is something fun you could do this week to add to your workouts or exercise routine? Maybe you could hike somewhere different or sign up for a competition to push yourself. Boredom can be the enemy of progress. Change it up! Write it down:

Relational:

Pray this week about something that could be hindering relational health. Ask God's wisdom. Are you holding back from really loving people? What can you do this week to show someone you care?

Financial:

Since one of the most practical ways we can hear God's voice is by giving, ask God if there is someone He want you to bless. At different times, I have felt the desire to give away jackets, cars, or to be more stretched in our church. God has led us to be more generous over time, and we have not lacked, but have been abundantly blessed. What is your action step this week?
