Training Vs. Trying - Relationships

Big Idea: Becoming who you are called to become will happen through training. Trying is not enough, training is the fastest way to transformation. Trying is sporadic and based on whims, moods, and will power. Training is consistent and based on principles, practices and performance. Matthew 7:24-27 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Key Ingredients to a Solid Foundation that can withstand the storms of life: Hear the words of Jesus: Act on the Words of Jesus: What are examples of the “Storms of Life.” (gusts, downpours, floods) Death, sickness, disease Addiction, depression, despair, dysfunction Relationship problems, divorce, jealousy, hatred, anger Feeling lost, purposeless, no direction, confusion This firm foundation allows you to navigate and withstand the storms of life.
