My Faith

Matthew 11:28-29 “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.’”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and selfdiscipline.”

TWO STRESS-BUSTING TRUTHS ABOUT MY FAITH

STRESS-BUSTING TRUTH #1:

Getting to Heaven is Not About WHAT I DO... It's About What JESUS HAS ALREADY DONE..

Ephesians 2:8-9 “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.”

Memory Verse: John 14:6 “Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’”

STRESS-BUSTING TRUTH #2:

Living to PLEASE JESUS is Less Stressful... Than Living to PLEASE PEOPLE.

Galatians 1:10 “Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.”

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
