Step # 4

Step # 4

We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Lamentations 3:40

Let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn again in repentance to the Lord.

We begin this Saturday night's teaching on Step # 4.
If you have been following our pod casts, you'll notice that we are taking one of the twelve steps each month.

This being April, we are moving into Step#4.

We find that recovery really is about letting go of false hopes so that work can begin on genuine hopes....

To begin to understand that the promises of God are for those who believe.
The promises of God are without fail.

When I understand that, with God's help, I need to take that trip inside myself and take an inventory of the good and bad in my life, then I am on the road to recovery.

For some though, the trip in is a painful, miserable journey as they revisit situations and people they may have used or hurt.

Guilt and shame begins to surface as these memories come back.

----NEWS FLASH---

Jesus isn't in the business of beating people down.

He is in the business of saving and picking people up.

How does He do this?
With His love and forgiveness.

By examining your past, and dealing with your issues by doing this 4th step,

You are going to see yourself more and more as being a valuable object of God's love.

How cool is that?

Be sure to check in Monday (hopefully) and listen to the message.

God on you..
