Week One: Introduction
As we begin Self-Denial this year, we’re focusing on being Motivated by Love. Letting our actions, choices, serving and giving flow from a heart shaped by God’s love.
Week Two: Be on Your Guard
As followers of Jesus, we’re called to guard two important things. Self-Denial is one way we join The Salvation Army in fighting for justice and care.
Week Three: Stand Firm
The Bible tells us our true foundation is God and our relationship with Him. Standing firm means trusting Him as our foundation, especially when the waves get big.
Week Four: Be Courageous
Self-Denial is an act of courage. It’s a moment when we give something up and trust God to use it in ways we might never see.
Week Five: Be Strong
This week we ‘ll learn how Jesus showed a very different kind of strength. Strength that looked like serving, humility, listening and gentleness.
Week Six: Do Everything in Love
God is good and full of love. God calls us to live and act from that same love, to let love be the motivation behind everything we do.
