The Humility Challenge

Dave continues with his theme of ‘Humility’. It is an essential key to becoming like Christ and to our future. God needs to teach, train and equip us but pride often stands in the way. Often you find yourself in a position where people seem to rise up to oppose you – Dave argues that God allows them to frustrate or hinder you in order to cause us to humble ourselves. God gives grace to the humbe so surely we neeed to grow in the attributes of humility – not pride.

Failure of Faith

Not everything we’re actually ‘believing God for’ eventuates. People say that God is an 11th hour God in that He comes through just in the nick of time. That’s often true, but sometimes He comes through at 2.45pm the next day (too late for the success of plan A but obviously committed to the success of plan B). Sometimes, however, it’s too late in every respect for God to come through … either the person’s died or irreversible decisions had to be made in the absence of the obvious intervention of God.
