But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.

Being a Christian… what does that mean? Jesus did not come to establish a religion or an institution. He came to establish a relationship. In this first devotional from the Follow series, we will focus on the idea that Jesus came to make a relationship with our Creator possible. Jesus did something amazing and He invites us to follow Him so we can have an abundant life on this earth.
What's stopping you from moving forward into your purpose? It could be failed relationships, lack of finances, personal responsibilities, family obligations and so much more. Like some, there are invisible barriers that keep us from unlocking our true potential. These barriers are the limitations that are placed on an individual from the satanic realm, and later creates a stronghold that stands in the way of your purpose and destiny.
Self-discovery has captured this generation with personality tests, self-help books, and more people than ever seeking therapy to better understand themselves. But what does the Bible say about the importance of knowing yourself? How does knowing God help us know ourselves better? How does knowing God and knowing ourselves help us in our relationships? This plan unpacks first and foremost knowing God, how a knowledge of him helps us to know ourselves, and then how we can love others by knowing God and ourselves.
Many Christians become stuck in sin patterns and have little hope breaking free. This can lead to deep guilt, shame, and discouragement. In this three-day plan, you will begin a journey toward overcoming habitual sin by getting to the root of the issues through the power of Christ. Join us today.
