Session 4 - Entrusted

Key Points from this week's 

Session



The Five Eye-Openers

1. The forces of evil are meaner and abler than most of us ever pictured.

  • Beth reminds us to be ready for attacks [2 Thessalonians 2:8]

The more entangled we are, the less faithful we will be with what has been entrusted to us. 

  • You are not your own worst enemy.
  • But you are your own worst enemy's best accomplice.
You can have a sincere and pure devotion to Christ and be completely seduced by the devil. 

2.  This faith-life is a fight from beginning to end. 

  • The enemy will minimize what Christ has done and then destruct us. But we must "take hold" (1Timothy 6:11-12)

To contend for victory in the public games. Figurative, it is the task of faith in persevering amid temptation and opposition. Additionally, to take pains to wrestle like we are in an awards contest. We strain every nerve towards the goal. 

["good" - Greek kalos - "Beautiful; good"]

3. Even amid the evil that beleaguers or befalls us, God is continually and mercifully after our good. 

  • Luke 22:31-32 was used to reveal to us that Peter had something that needed sifting. 
  • The thorn stands like a guard over our life. 

4. God purposely set up the system where it demands dialogue and dependency to function properly. 

  • Jesus is after the envelope of our communication with Him continually.
  • Complete dependency
  • Invasion of God
  • We can't walk in the gray zone
  • You will be delivered. Your life is just beginning after going through it.

5. Jesus is the best part. 

  • Anything entangling us from knowing that Jesus is the prize, you will want to deal with.
