Steps to Freedom (Matthew McCullough)

Here are the 12 Steps of Celebrate Recovery (to find out more visit https://www.celebraterecovery.com/
1. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable.
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. Romans 7:18 NIV
2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Philippians 2:13 NIV
3. We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills over to the care of God.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your  spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 NIV
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Lamentations 3:40 NIV
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16a NIV
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10 NIV
7. We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 NIV
8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Do to others as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31 NIV
9. We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24 NIV
10. We continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 1 Corinthians 10:12
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and power to carry that out.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Colossians 3:16a NIV
12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs.
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Galatians 6:1 NIV

Prayer is our action

Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.
https://www.knowgrowshow.ca/
The Passage
Numbers 14:10-20
The One Thing
Prayer is our action
Know 
K1 The Israelites in Numbers 14 teach us that “Bad attitudes are infectious”. Are you someone who is more easily infected by other’s bad attitudes or who infects others with your bad attitude? 
Grow 
G1 What did you think of the pole analogy: that each end of the pole is clear (one end is God’s action, the other end is our action), but the middle of the pole (where God's sovereignty and human agency meet) is mysterious? 
G2 How do you make sense of Number 14:20 where God says to Moses “I have forgiven them as you asked”. How can this encourage us to pray with boldness and faith? 
G3 Dan presented 3 options to explain what happened: a) God changed his mind b) God didn’t really mean He was going to destroy the Israelites b) God foreknew that He would threaten to destroy the Israelites but would relent because of Moses’ prayer. Which do you think makes best sense of the evidence? 
G4 Dan said that when we’re faced with the mystery of God, we pray His character that He’s already revealed. Do you think this is wise advice? Why or why not? 
G5 Dan said that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the One who represents the Mystery of God to us as humans AND He is the image of humanity, the One who represents us in perfection to God, through interceding for us. Thank Jesus for occupying this middle ground and bringing God and humankind together.

S1 Think of one thing that God has shown you or birthed in you over this series. Write it down and thank Him for it. Share this insight with someone you know.  

Prayer invites God's action

Weekly Podcast from Cornerstone Church, North Gower, Ontario.
https://www.knowgrowshow.ca/
The Passage
1 Kings 18:21-39 , Daniel 10:1-21
The One Thing
Prayer invites God's action
Know
K1 When have you felt utterly powerless? (If there is a trauma associated with this memory, feel free to move on to the next question).
Grow
G1 Dan said that prayer is synergy (working together): what do you think he meant by that?
G2 Which is more true: "we are powerless therefore we pray" or "we aren't powerless because we can pray"?
G3 In 1 Kings, the people went from saying nothing to falling facedown on the ground saying "The LORD, He is God". What part did Elijah play, and what part did God play in this transformation?
G4 Dan said "Prayer opens the door to God's power". Why don't we open this door more often?
G5 In Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21 we see a glimpse as to what happens in the spiritual realms when God’s people pray. What do you make of all the details in this account? If you were to make a movie of this account, what would it look like?
G6 Why do you think God included this Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21 in the Bible? How does it change your attitude to prayer?
Show
S1 Think of a situation, either “in here” (personal or in your social circle) or “out there” (geopolitical, global or a justice issue) in which you feel powerless. Read through either the 1 Kings 18 passage or the Daniel 10 passage and start to invite God’s action into that situation, through prayer.
