Weightless Pt. 1

<p>Bearing too much weight can hinder you and cause unnecessary stress. Pastor Tyus points us to God for help in laying aside sin & the weight of the world that hinders progressive movement.<br /> <br /> “We can’t be sinless, but we can be free from the weight of the world.”<br /> <br /> 5:40 - Hebrew 12:1-2 ESV. Lay aside things that can hinder you from walking & growing with God.<br /> <br /> 10:45 - “The joy of what’s to come is greater than what you’re going through right now.” There is a purpose for your pain!<br /> <br /> 11:50 - “When life gets rough, it’s not about what happens to us, but what happens in us. Don’t let external circumstances cause negative internal responses.” Work on controlling your outcome by responding with God’s word in “unfavorable” situations.<br /> <br /> 18:09 - James 1:2-4 ESV. Testing of your faith produces steadfastness (ability to keep moving forward) in your life. Rejoice in your trials because it’s nothing but preparation to be able to sustain and lack anything after receiving God’s promises.<br /> <br /> 23:49 - “Your spirit is willing, but your flesh is weak. You are competing with the inner you. Don’t give in to your flesh because you're tired.” Ask God for rest when needed! Matthew 11:28 24:40 - Galatians 6:9-10 ESV.<br /> <br /> Turnaround Takeaways:<br /> - Strive to be exceptional men and women of God.<br /> ⁃ Ask god for help to overcome sin in your life through prayer & application of his word.<br /> ⁃ Being weightless allows you to see God no matter what situation you face.<br /> <br /> Major Keys<br /> 1.
