Title: GREATER THAN > STRESS

Bishop continued his GREATER this past Sunday with a message on Stress.

Stress is a Part of Life in this world

Read John 16:33

Commentary: Stress is a part of life in this world and is a factor in 5 out of 6 leading causes of death (Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Respiratory Disease, and Accidents). The natural demands of life (family, school, careers, etc.) contribute to our experiencing stress.

• What is the main cause of stress in your life today?
• How does stress show up in your life?

God will not give more than HE can handle

Read 1 Corinthians 10:13,14 and 2 Corinthians 1:8-10

Commentary: We often say that God will give us more than we can handle…

• How does thinking that God will not give more than He can handle change your perspective?

He renews our strength

Read Isaiah 40:31, Philippians 4:13, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Exodus 15:2

• What is the common theme in all of these scriptures?
• Why do we need to shift our focus from our strength to God’s strength?

The Strategy is in God’s Strength

Read Samuel 30:6-8

Commentary: Sometimes we don’t need strength, we need strategy…

· • How can a strategy from God improve your strength?
