and it is enough for us

"God is Sufficient"
* Main point: "God has all that we need all of the time"
* All we need is available to us through God {2Pet1:3}
- All deal w/ life & Godliness; He supplies all things pertaining to such
- All we need not all we want
* Sufficiency of God gives us spiritual strength {Eph3:14-20}
- "Filled w/ fullness of God"
- As we get filled, we become like Him
* Sufficiency of God gives us every spiritual blessing {Eph1:3,18-19}
- "Immeasurable greatness of His power"
- Lack of maturity drives us not to lean on Him for blessings
* Sufficiency of God best viewed through honest reflection of own weaknesses {2Cor12:8-9}
- "Have grown great skill in masking our own weaknesses"
- "Very hard for God to work in life of a stubborn mule"
* Repent of self-sufficiency {2Cor3:5, Jam4:6}
- Must be humble to receive grace
* Embrace being completed by God through Christ {Col2:9-10}
- "You have infinite quantities" of fruits of Spirit in God
* Choose to serve -- you are equipped to do it {2Cor9:8}
- "What God has for you is not just for you, but for you to share"
* Admit your need for Christ on a consistent basis & approach Him {Heb4:14-16}
- God helps those who help selves is HUGE lie
- God helps those who recognize they cannot help selves
