Below is a summary of the week and some questions to ask in your Tribe. Feel free to use any of the resources at the bottom too! The idea is that we are growing in our connection with God.
Hello, we are glad you're here!
This week in our series called The Good Life, we learned the importance of renewing our mind and how we can do that in our daily life.
KEY SCRIPTURE
KEY POINTS
Four components to renew your mind for a good life –
1. Rewire your brain (Romans 12:2 NIV)
When we think about life the way God wants us to, it shapes our choices. We have to work at changing how we think about the things that trigger us.
2. Reframe your perspective (Proverbs 23:7 NIV)
Our way of seeing things isn't the only way. If our perspective is negatively impacting our thoughts, opinions, decisions, attitudes or actions, it’s time to reframe the perspective we have. Our failures and bad decisions teach us to be better when we think about what led us to the poor outcome and how to avoid that in the future.
3. Rejoice in your soul (Philippians 4:4 NIV)
Your words dictate your reality in such a way that they create momentum. The idea is to find the joy in the here and now. Cancel your negative thoughts and replace them with empowering thoughts.
4. Replace the lies (John 8:32 NIV)
Lies keep us trapped, but discovering the truth can set us free from torment in our minds.
When we take responsibility for our thoughts, they shape our lives, our identity, actions and destiny. It helps to think about the big picture and not just the negative details.
We pray that you are staying intentionally, spiritually connected with God and others. We pray that you are taking steps to renew your mind to be closer to God and the good life He has planned for you.
