Zoom Church Service "Relationships" Challenge Week!

Hello all of Our Social Media Family! Thank you for joining us! This is our list of challenges to practice that will help you become a better person as you grow closer to God! We will be doing these challenges with you, and we plan to do check-ins about them to see where everyone is at. The goal is for us to fight battles together and grow as a family of Christ. We challenge you to do these challenges with us until our next Zoom Church Service. How you approach it is up to you, you can choose to work on one a day or all of them at once, the idea is to work on all of these eventually for the next 2 weeks in hopes that it will start the process of all of these becoming natural to you until they are a part of you.

1. For 30 - 1 hour a day select a time to read/study the bible. (Exception Online bible on phone, tablet, computer).

   - During this time, you can either read the Bible, pray to God, do bible study (reading the bible and taking notes, writing down interpretations, messages etc.), and if you are doing this challenge with someone else or a group of people, you can do these things together and turn it into a Bible discussion if you like.

2. Repent Daily

   - It is important that we repent throughout the day. There are times when we disobey God, make bad decisions, and unknowingly sin etc. It is always important to ask for the Lord's forgiveness; never go to bed or start your day without repenting.

   If you don't know how to do this, here is a prayer you can say -

   "Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all of the wrong that I have done and all of my sins that I have committed, please come into my heart and purify me with your love, grace, and Holy Spirit, in Jesus name, Amen!"

3. Forgive yourself and anyone you need to; let go of hate if you have it in your heart.

   - We cannot be with Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior forever if we have hatred in our hearts. Jesus tells us to forgive, and it means in all aspects. Think about it like this, if God can forgive the worst of the worst for doing the most evil things toward him and his children. Through Jesus Christ we can too.

   
   

   Matthew 18:21-22

   ²¹ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

   ²² Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

4. Pray and ask God for Guidance.

   Some things are confusing, and we can't understand it. That is okay; we don't have to understand everything. God doesn't want us to understand everything. All he needs is for us to listen. He's already created the plan and knows how to guide your steps. Trust him; don't let the devil cloud your judgment of the Lord's commandments, nor cloud your mind that you can't hear God anymore. Trust him, don't worry, don't stress, and if you start to, give it to God and thank him every day for the blessings in your life, and that even though you don't have things figured out, God does, and how you know that God will work it out.

6. Read/Listen the book of Revelation

Having Faith is not hoping that God will; it is knowing he will!
