I Can't Help Myself
I Can't Help Myself
I Can’t Help Myself. That can either mean those things in your life when you get around them, that you can’t control yourself with, or it can mean that we come to the realization that we can’t help ourselves. In Acts 12 Peter was in chains and awaiting death the next day, yet he was sleeping. How in the world does that happen? Because of two things. Surrender to the purposes of God and the kind of dependence on God that realized he couldn’t help himself anyway. God is calling you to a life of surrender and dependence on Him.
The Proximity Effect
The Proximity Effect
The lives of the disciples weren’t transformed because of their scholastic study. In Acts 4:13 we read why they were transformed, because they “had been with Jesus.” As a church we are charting a course for the future and everything is hinged on one thing, the presence of Jesus. We believe that Jesus is the most attractional and transformational force on earth, and that if we get serious about walking into His presence we will experience the same proximity effect that the disciples did.
