Are your past failings or struggles keeping you from acting out your faith? Can God still use someone that has failed miserably?
Listen in, as Jeremy and Emily discuss great failures in the Bible—-murderers, adulterers, persecutors of Christians (even killing), deniers of Christ, and the list goes on. You may be surprised who God uses to walk out His plan. If you have ever discounted yourself or believe you cannot be used by God because of your past or your present, make sure to listen in. We have great news for you!
“God can’t use you.”
That is the voice we hear in our heads. The particular reason God can’t use you doesn’t really matter; Satan just wants you to believe this lie. If he can get your focus on your failures, he has you; he has accomplished two things:
You will discredit your ability to be used by God (and possibly disregard God’s voice.)
(Far worse), you will believe God could never want an intimate relationship with someone like you.
In this session, you have a great opportunity to overcome both of these lies. It is really quite simple: Point your group to the lives of the men in the Bible who God used in the most significant ways. These men were murderers, adulterers, persecutors of Christians, and deniers of Jesus. Yet they had some of the most intimate and significant relationships with God in history. Crush the lies of Satan in this session, and show your excitement as you motivate the men in your group to embrace intimacy with Jesus in our next session!
