If you want to know God, you must know His Word, because that’s how He’s chosen to reveal Himself. Think about it: If the only way you could communicate was through speaking God’s Word, how much would you be saying?

Christmas (the birth of Christ) was not a random act of God but designed by Him from the beginning, to provide the hope of Salvation for those who seek it.

Christmas (the birth of Christ) was not a random act of God but designed by Him from the beginning, to provide the hope of Salvation for those who seek it. Think about it: Are there people that you leave out of your “Nativity scene” because of their race, social status, or history of wrongs?

Point: Christmas (the birth of Christ) was not a random act of God but designed by Him from the beginning, to provide the hope of Salvation for those who seek it. Think about it: When you consider exactly who this child was – beforehand and now – does it have any effect on how you use/speak His name?

Point: Christmas (the birth of Christ) was not a random act of God but designed by Him from the beginning, to provide the hope of Salvation for those who seek it. Think about it: If Christmas was not a random act of God but designed for the Salvation of those who seek it, then how should you approach sharing that with others?

If we want to please God, then we need to live for each other rather than living to please ourselves Think about it: Have you ever considered why God would push us not seek our own personal pleasures?

Our responsibility is to love each other rather than force our personal convictions on each other Think about it: If you’re doing something you’re unsure about, would you feel comfortable inviting Christ to join you in it; even if it’s just the two of you?

Because our time is limited, we need to wake up and start living like Christ and not like the world around us. Think about it: If you’re struggling with repeating sin, or addiction, is your focus more on Christ or trying to stop?

If you’re a Christian, then Living Undefeated includes humbly serving those who appear to burden or defeat you. Think about it: Is there someone in your life, who you feel owes you something, that you can bless in some way instead?

Because we are a family, we need to genuinely love and serve each other so that others want to be a part of it. Think about it: If you were to honestly rate yourself on a 1-10, what would your “living like it” score be?

You can find God’s will through offering Him your entire life, prepared to serve His Kingdom Think about it: Is God’s will for your life truly a mystery or is it just unacceptable?

Because God’s love for us is unbreakable; rather than trying to win at life, we should live it victoriously. Think about it: If you’re secured in Christ, with such love that you’re beyond victorious, what kind of love are you offering Him in return?

If we believe the Gospel has saved us, that God causes all things for good and He is for us, why do we hide it? Think about it: If Christ tells you to offer others the same Gospel that saved you, can you explain what makes you comfortable with saying no?

Because God has sovereignly destined His people to be like His Son, we can know that all things are working for the good of those who belong to Him. Think about it: If you know that God’s actions on your behalf are already past tense, while still holding present and future power, then why do you feel defeated, depressed, or condemned?

If you want to know that God hears your prayers, you need to know that His Spirit is within you and guiding them. Think about it: If God’s Spirit is within you, are you making sure that He’s guiding your prayers and not just being expected to deliver them.

If you’re truly saved, then you should anticipate Christ’s return, with patience, by living your life for the growth of His Kingdom Think about it: If you are saved, anticipating Christ return, what evidence is in your daily life that would affirm that about you?

Because God has a plan for His children, connected with all of creation, even suffering cannot destroy our hope. Think about it: If you are connected to the creation around you, does that make you responsible for it in any way?

If you’re a child of God, adopted into His family, your life should reflect Him as your Father and not the sins that you left behind. Think about it: When people see you, listen to you, hang out with you; what should they see/hear that might give them reason to believe God is your Father?

If we aim to please God, then our lives must belong to Him, so that His Spirit lives within us and directs our steps. Think about it: Which comes first - your actions causing your thoughts or your thoughts causing your actions?

Our entire life changes when we accept that what God says about us is based on what He’s already done for us. Think about it: Christian, you need to KNOW who you are so you can BE who you are.

When we truly understand, by faith, the Gospel of our Salvation, we’re unashamed to share it It’s the things you love most that you’re least ashamed to talk about

Love defined by anything other than God, will always allow for disappointment and division.

God is not hidden, but seeing Him comes through desire, expectation, and devotion to do so.

There are times when, by faith, we should take charge of situations for the benefit of others who may suffer if we do not.

Jesus can and does heal, but our faith in Him precedes His actions.
