Our Efforts or God’s Power?
Today I want us to look into the source of effectiveness and productivity in our Christian lives and in our church body. The apostle Peter is going to help us search out the answers to, “Why am I so tired all the time?” and “Why does it seem like no matter how hard I try, things still don‟t quite turn out the way that I wanted?” It seems to me that the world-wide church is tired and out of new ideas to keep people interested in Jesus Christ. We spend so much time and energy thinking up new ways to promote growth, and still end up struggling to maintain our slipping average. Is it possible that this may be exactly the place where God wants us? God may want effort from us, but it may not be in the areas where we have put forth the most resources (time, money, prayer).
Follow along below and let scripture guide us as to how we can live more effective, productive, and fruitful lives in our Lord Jesus Christ.
