God's Provision for You

Introduction: Last week we learned how God loves us and the value He places on our bodies. Today we learn how we can cooperate with God to bring your life under His control.

Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

Living in Faith 

1. Nothing is impossible with God, we must know that

2. Faith shifts the topic from the general to the specific or individual

3. Faith consists of three parts

   1. Object of faith

   2. The actions of faith

   3. The affirmations of faith-can you personally affirm God's power, wisdom and goodness.

   4. Without faith it is impossible to please God

Submission

2. Faith is not demanding

3. Anything God does for us as a response to our faith is an act of grace

4. Submission allows Christ to shape our lives and transform our lives

Obedience

3. Obedience is an expression of our trust and confidence in God

4. To be willing to do whatever is hard for the human spirit

5. Living in faith can help us keep our commitments because we know that is what God wants us to do

Conclusion: Faith is the foundation we enter into this program. Submission readies our attitude for what's ahead and obedience helps us to actually do what we must do.
