Series:   ReGen - Regeneration Makes Change Possible
Title:    "You Can't Do It Alone"
Speaker: Doug Freeman

Proverbs 27:5-6 AMP
Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden. Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].
https://bible.com/bible/1588/pro.27.5-6.AMP

I.   We Are Created for Relationships

Romans 8:29-30 MSG
God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.

II.   God-Honoring Relationships
...A. Are a Spiritual Necessity

Proverbs 12:1 AMP
Whoever loves instruction and discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof and correction is stupid.
https://bible.com/bible/1588/pro.12.1.AMP

Proverbs 12:15 AMP
The way of the [arrogant] fool [who rejects God's wisdom] is right in his own eyes, But a wise and prudent man is he who listens to counsel.

James 5:19-20 ESV
My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
https://bible.com/bible/59/jas.5.19-20.ESV

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NASB2020
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor; for if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up!

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety MARCH 30, 2025 WEEK 4 _______________ Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV) > 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 1. The state of Gratitude and Anxiety cannot coexist in the mind. Psalms 100:4 (NIV) > 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalms 136:1 (NIV) > 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV...

Verde Valley Christian Church Jul 7 – 14, 2024 Sermon Series: SHINE! Sermon Title: "Why Do We Hide Our Light?" Presenter: Jim Hammond Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 1. Don't shine with SELF-CONFIDENCE 2. Shine by RELYING on God John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
