Insecure | That Used To Be Me

Insecure | That Used To Be Me

All of us have a side to us that doesn't look good in the mirror. I'm not talking about our physical appearance. You have to look past the reflection and into your heart and thoughts. During these six weeks, we will be looking at how to overcome those private battles that we know exist. We will be looking at key people in the bible that also had the same struggles. You will be encouraged that we have a God who knows how to heal and transform. God wants you to know the power of His Holy Spirit at a personal level. Then, you can say with confidence, "That used to be me."

Upcoming Events

Fix It Ministry | The Fix It Ministry is now ready to take on projects. We need you to let us know how we can help with any personal repairs for your home or car. These volunteers want to use their God-given gifts to love on you. When you give them an opportunity, it brings joy to their hearts. It's a way they can serve God. So, let us know if you have anything and we'll talk about next steps. Please email Andy Fish at fixit@thorncreek.church.

7 Habits of a Christ-Driven Life | Wednesdays | 6:30pm | What does living a "Christ-Driven Life" really look like on a daily basis? Hear from a different speaker each week in this 7 week class. Learn how to incorporate specific habits into your daily life that will lead you closer to God. You can jump into the classes at any time. Register by visiting thorncreek.church/events.

Men's Night | Tuesday, October 12 | 7:00pm | This is a night just for men. There will be worship, an encouraging word, group discussion, and coffee! Plan for 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM.

Bring A Friend Weekend | October 16 and 17 | What is a Friends Weekend? We want to encourage you to prayerfully invite someone to ThornCreek Church for a worship service on this weekend! Pastor Ruben will be preaching about an Old Testament character named Balaam. The message will be about pleasing God more than pleasing people. We are planning a great worship set, testimony, and a great fun environment.
So, start praying now. Tell them to meet you at ThornCreek Church 15 minutes before service begins. Make sure they get their kids checked in early, get some of our good coffee, and are sitting in the Worship Center before the service begins. This way they experience a full worship experience at ThornCreek! Please make a special effort to step out of your comfort zone, and extend an invite to someone. Let's fill every row on Friends Weekend!

TC Kids (Birth - 5th Grade)

ThornCreek Kids Ministry - Available in all services. Children's Church has been re-opened on Saturday nights. This means Saturday will be fully staffed like Sunday mornings. (This is the goal). We're also starting a brand new curriculum called, "Orange" this weekend. So, if you are a parent of a child (Birth to 5th Grade), COME EARLY to church on Saturday or Sunday, check in your child, and be in service before the first song starts! It's going to be great.

ThornCreek Kids Ministry strives to walk alongside and equip parents to be spiritual leaders in their children’s lives. Our hope and prayer is that with a strong faith foundation, kids will make the decision to continue growing as Christians, and become Christ-like disciples.

Our age-level classes allow us to reach children at their developmental level, so that by God’s grace they will be able to comprehend to the best of their ability, the topics we are covering in church!

All Ministry Partners (over the age of 18) have passed background checks, and all Bridge Team members (6th-12th graders) are supervised by adults.

TC Students (6th - 12th Grade)

ThornCreek Student Ministries mission is to create a safe place for students to encounter Jesus, ask questions, process struggles and to experience the love of God while ultimately integrating them into the body and mission of Jesus Christ.

WEEKLY PROGRAMS
ENCOUNTER | Wednesday 6:00pm-7:30pm - Youth Group is meeting in person. This is our midweek Youth Group service. At Encounter, we have food, games, deep Bible study, student led worship and small groups. We believe that we are better when we are together.

Insecurity:
lack of confidence or assurance; self-doubt
Seven signs you might be insecure:
You get defensive when people point out your shortcomings
You want people to know how important you are
You feel inferior around successful people
You want to please others
You feel hurt if you get left out
You don't believe you're good enough
You don't like meeting new people
Secure people see themselves through God's eyes.
Your greatest potential includes God's Spirit in you.
Secure people care more about what God thinks than what others think.
“Pride is a by-product of insecurity. And the more insecure a person is, the more monuments they need to build. There is a fine line between ‘Thy kingdom come’ and ‘my kingdom come.’ If you cross the line, your relationship with God is self-serving. You aren’t serving God. You are using God. You aren’t building altars to God. You are building monuments to yourself.”
- Mark Batterson
You are God's answer.
Secure people focus on God's strength.
Insecure people focus on their limitations.
God knows your insecurities.
“Live from the abundant place that you are loved and you won’t find yourself begging others for scraps of love.”
- Lysa Terkeurst
God will help you grow into the shoes of a Mighty Hero.
Truly secure people have discovered life in Christ Jesus.
