"God, you want me to do what? You want me to go where? You think I can overcome these obstacles? You think I can face these fears?" If you ever feel like faithfulness is beyond you, then you are not alone! In this message, Pastor Scott Savage continues our series on the Fruit of Spirit by talking about God's faithfulness to us and how He brings faithfulness to life within us.

Part 17 of 23 in the series, "Belonging to Him". Jesus once asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" In our encounters with Jesus, we should also answer this question, but then we should ask, "Who does God say that I am?" Understanding and claiming our identity in Christ should be a foundational and constant confession of faith. Because who we are is shaped by who we're with. And who we are in Christ will define what we have in him and how we then choose to live (recorded in 2019.)

Staying free from self-condemnation.

As adults,we are good at pointing fingers at ourselves. We look back at earlier situations,the ones we feel we should have handled better,and we begin to sit in judgement. This is what a guilt can do. And then,we begin to worry about what is going to happen next. We lock ourselves in this emotional prison and forget that life is passing us by. In today's talkshow,Omobola focus on guilt and worry as two emotional extremes that needs to be checked. She highlights healthy tips to help overcome them. Why not tune in now while you have a really worthwhile listening experience.

Self-forgiveness is not a feeling, it is an act of our will. In this episode, I share some personal stories of how difficult forgiving myself has been many times in my life. I explain what it means to forgive ourselves, why it is important and offer tips to help you forgive yourself for the choices, mistakes and/or regrets in your life. It is a process and practice but it is NOT impossible. We all deserve and are worthy of forgiving ourselves. I share the difference between guilt and shame.

As the saying goes, sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. The impact of sin in our lives can extend even after we have come to know God's great love when we allow self-condemnation to rob us of the joy God desires for us. As Pastor Bill reminds us in this sermon, if we hear God calling us any other name than "Beloved", then we are falling for one of Satan's lies. Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts!

It always amazes me that God lives within us. It seems like I don't have much trouble with the idea that we live in God. After all he is pretty big and capable of including all of us. But he lives in us! All that life, all that love, all that righteousness, all that creative power in me …that is mysterious and frightening. But our text tells us that just as we live in God, he also lives in us. He does so by his Spirit. The main idea of our text this week is assurance so that the believer can appeal to God in prayer with confidence. Verse 19 picks up on a theme discussed in the previous verses. It refers back to the idea in the previous verse that we are to love with words and actions. When we do so we gain confidence that we live in the truth. In other words, our Christ-like behavior helps to assure us that Jesus, (the truth) is alive and well in us. This assurance helps us whenever we are prone to periods of doubt or self-condemnation. Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows everything about us. When we are alarmed by our self-examination. When our actions deny our beliefs, God knows better than our hearts and his opinion of us trumps our opinion of ourselves. We pacify our hearts by loving one another and realizing that God knows our true allegiance. This in turn gives us confidence in prayer. Nothing will hinder our prayer and God will answer anything we ask according to his will. Praying with confidence then is linked to inner peace. This is the usual state of the believer's heart. This is possible because we have direct and immediate access to the cure for sin: He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins (1 John 1:9). There is one other source for confidence in our prayer life and security in our relationship with God. It is the Holy Spirit's presence in us. John introduces this idea of the Spirit as inner witness of our salvation since he is reflecting upon the Upper Room Discourse in his Gospel chapters 14-17, as he has so often in his epistle. There Jesus encouraged his disciples with the truth that the Spirit would lead and guide them into all truth when he was no longer physically present. He would not leave them comfortless. Questions for Discussion: 1. Slide 3. What is mysterious, disturbing and amazing to you about God living inside you? 2. Slide 7-8. From your own experience, can you relate to the self-condemnation John references? Have you ever found that your love for others is a way to pacify your heart? Why is God's verdict regarding your salvation more important than your own view of your state of heart? 3. Slide 9-13. How important is bold and confident prayer? What hinders your prayer life? What is the antidote to wimpy prayer? 4. Slide 14-17. Discuss the unique view of John regarding the role of the Holy Spirit. Refer to John's gospel chapters 14 to 17 to hear Jesus talk about the Holy Spirit is a similar way. How has this role of the Spirit been experienced in your life?
