In our journey to live a life that honors God, we often find ourselves navigating through a series of steps that can guide us toward transformation. Over the past weeks, we’ve explored five foundational steps, and this weekend, Terrence delved into the final four steps that will help us restructure our lives and embrace a new identity in Christ.
- Restructuring Our Lives – Lean into God’s grace and His word to guide transformation, allowing humility and flexibility to navigate challenges.
- Persevering in Our New Identity – Stay committed despite setbacks, recognizing that obstacles are opportunities for growth.
- Stewarding Our Lives for God’s Glory – Reflect your devotion to God in how you manage your time, resources, and relationships.
- Devotion as the Secret Sauce – Like an athlete training for a race (1 Cor. 9:24-27), devotion fuels the journey through discipline and self-control.
To help us embrace a life of devotion and overcome sin, Terrence introduced a framework that has been helpful in his own journey: head, heart, and hands. Each step we take should consider these three areas of our lives.
- Head – Let grace reshape your thoughts and mindset.
- Heart – Let eternal hope motivate your actions and decisions.
- Hands – Implement intentional structure and accountability in daily life.
As we navigate our path forward, let us remember that healing is available. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or stubborn habits, God wants to heal you. Your story doesn’t have to remain the same forever. Embrace your identity as a chosen child of God, loved unconditionally and called to a purpose.
