1) The passage discusses how God gives us power, love, and self-discipline rather than a spirit of timidity when it comes to openly expressing our faith. 2) It notes that while sharing our faith with others can be intimidating, focusing on what God has done for us through His love can help us overcome fears and be bold reflections of His power. 3) The passage encourages readers to rely on the power and love of Christ within them to overcome timidity and put their faith on display through both words and actions.

Celebrate recovery lesson 8 addiction
Having a sponsor and accountability partner is important for three main reasons: 1) it is biblically supported as iron sharpens iron, 2) it is a key part of recovery programs by keeping one honest and accountable, and 3) it guards against relapse by quickly confronting old behaviors. A sponsor should have completed their own recovery program, have a strong relationship with God, and be willing to listen without judgment while also providing confrontation when needed. The main differences between a sponsor and accountability partner are that a sponsor guides one through the full program and has completed it, while an accountability partner focuses more on specific accountability and can be at the same recovery level for encouragement.
Worry Stress & Anxiety... What the Bible says about it
The document discusses how to avoid worry, stress, and anxiety by seeking God first through prayer, reading scripture, pursuing righteousness, and trusting that God will provide for all needs. It explains that Jesus told his followers not to worry about basic necessities like food and clothing but to make God and his kingdom their top priority. When facing difficulties, believers are instructed to pray, read the Bible, do God's will, and have faith in his provision rather than prioritizing their problems.
The pursuit of peace (session 1)
The document provides information about a workshop on understanding the roots and causes of conflict. It will take place on May 12, 2012 from 9am to 3pm at SHEKINAH Church located at #1 Queensway #03-09/10 Queensway Shopping Centre in Singapore. The workshop will discuss understanding the potential for conflict, dealing with conflicts through personal and mediated peacemaking, and following God's principles when conflicts cannot be resolved. It will also cover the biblical roots and causes of conflict according to passages like James 4:1-2 and Galatians 5:13-15.
The Secret of Success
The document outlines seven characteristics of successful people: integrity, discipline, love, flexibility, confidence, humor, and trust in God. It provides examples to illustrate each trait, such as how integrity means being honest even when it risks harming oneself, and how discipline requires working hard and sacrificing personal time for one's career. The document stresses that success is achieved through pursuing one's purpose rather than wealth, power, or other external factors, and that having faith in God means not worrying and involving Him in all aspects of one's life.

Talent plus perseverance and courage lesson 4
This document discusses the importance of perseverance and courage for achieving success and accomplishing goals. It defines perseverance as "staying in power" and the ability to finish what is started. While talent provides hope, perseverance guarantees accomplishment.

Success often lies just beyond feeling like one cannot succeed, so people should keep going. Perseverance demands giving full effort even when tired. A case study of Ruth demonstrates how her persistence paid off through difficult times. Courage is needed to test one's talent when facing truths about weaknesses, discomfort, challenges, weaknesses being exposed, treating others poorly, facing obstacles

So What”What problem, perspective, paradigm, or perplexing peo.docx
“So What?”
What problem, perspective, paradigm, or perplexing people puzzle keeps you awake at night? In what way has the Holy Spirit used course materials to address a piece of junk?
While choosing Bruce as my care seeker, I didn’t realize I would identify myself. Much like Bruce when tragedy strikes, there is strong possibility that I would block everything and everyone out, only to focus on what I may feel is important. I have created distance with my family members at times I should have been drawing closer and loving them more. Something I took into consideration is Kollar’s (2015) “Do Something Different.” If what you are doing is not working, stop doing it and do something different. Sometimes we all get into unhealthy habits (Kollar, 2015). Now I wouldn’t say that this issue has kept me up at night, but I have put so much of this perspective into work, that it has brought me out of a loner’s space. Another great aspect that proves the holy spirit is working and through course material, is the acknowledgement of God always being active. There are capabilities within the counselee that God has already revealed in his past that will help him effectively manage a specific problem in a way that is pleasing to God (Kollar, 2015). This is the reminder that God is always with me no matter what stage I am in my life. Psalms 139:23-24 says, “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!” 24 “And see if there be any grievous ways in me and lead me in the way everlasting!” (ESV)
“Whats Best Next?”
Self-Care: Self-Care can be hard for any person but most difficult for those who take care of others. Some may even think that having others take care of them is just enough. Self-care consist of taking care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Resting is an act of faith. We rest because God says we should/can. Trust that He will continue to work and take care of things even as we are resting (Our Hearts Journal, 2012). One of my greatest worries is when I stop everything stops. Once I realized that God will always handle the beginning and the ending, rest will become inevitable. I love this revelation from Peterson (2015), “In the presence of thera-noxious folks, we feel less healthy and secure.” Although others may never acknowledge this factor about therapeutic people, the fact that we acknowledge that feeling, leaves us with the responsibility to take care of ourselves.

Max Lucado wrote a book about fear because fear is prevalent in today's world yet Jesus spoke more about fear than any other topic. As a pastor, Max sees the biggest fear people face as being insignificant and making no contribution. Faith counters fear because it demands a decision to have faith and hope whereas fear is the default emotion. Fear can hamper relationships with God and others by causing doubt and making people controlling. The fear of God is actually a healthy reverence and respect when it means depending on God for wisdom.

Fear 5
- 1. Nothing’s Too Hard for God / Fear (5.5) God Makes Us Bold 2 Timothy 1:7 Do you know someone who really intimidates you? It might be a supervisor, an instructor, or even just a neighbor. Many times, this individual has no intention of causing such a feeling. Yet the very thought of even talking to him or her leaves you feeling nervous or hesitant. Likewise, we all face situations that intimidate us. This can be especially true when it comes to having a conversation with someone about God. Yet such a fear is unhealthy, as Paul explained to a young pastor he was mentoring named Timothy: God did not give us the spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. God has called each of us to be open and transparent about our faith. He wants us to express to others the joy He’s placed within our hearts. However, for some of us, this does present a challenge. The fears of uncertainty and self-doubt begin to well up inside us. That’s when we must bring to mind what God has placed inside our hearts: power, love, and a uniquely eternal perspective. Whether we’re presenting the gospel to a friend or simply interacting with coworkers on break, being open about our faith can be a source of fear. Counteract those emotions with a focus on what God has done for you. When you let His love show through your words as well as your actions, rather than focusing on your own limitations, you’ll become a bold reflection of His life-changing power. And that’s something no one needs to fear. Why do you think so many people struggle with fear when it comes to putting their faith in display in words as well as actions? In what ways is the power and love of Christ visible in your life? How can you overcome timidity when you have opportunity to put that power and love on display?
