Beyond Blessed

Beyond Blessed

This is a powerful series from Ps Robert Morris at Gateway Church that builds upon the Blessed Life to unpack what it means to live beyond blessed.

The videos are from Gateway Sunday services so are longer than our usual eGroup videos. When using the videos in your group you may want to shorten the watch time by playing the videos between these points and spreading over more weeks:

  • Session 1a - Living Beyond Blessed - Play from the start until 13:16 (13 minute watch time)
  • Session 1b - Living Beyond Blessed - Play from 13:16 until end (13 minute watch time)
  • Session 2a - Who’s the Owner? - Play from start until 14:17 (14 minute watch time)
  • Session 2b - Who’s the Owner? - Play from 14:17 until end (17 minute watch time)
  • Session 3a - Good Stewards - Play from start until 20:31 (20 minute watch time)
  • Session 3b - Good Stewards - Play from 20:31 until end (15 minute watch time)
  • Session 4a - The Ten Financial Commandments - Play from start until 16:56 (17 minute watch time)
  • Session 4b - The Ten Financial Commandments - Play from 16:56 until end (16 minute watch time)

If you split the videos over two weeks then just refer to the relevant parts of the ‘Discuss’ sheet each time.

GALATIANS 5:1

It is for
freedom
that Christ
has set
us free.

At the start of every year we lean in and learn together, right across New Zealand. This year our desire and prayer is that we would live unrestricted. The Bible teaches that freedom is not found in limitless choices and boundaries. It is something that God has already secured for us through Jesus.

Galatians 5:1 says “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.”

Our prayer is that this 4 week study leads you to answer some of these questions: What does a free you look like? How can you invite God to search you and know you? Could we be more bound than we are willing to acknowledge? We want the biproducts of what freedom produces in our life, but are we willing to do the things we need to do find freedom?

Freedom is a one time gift — and a process. The moment we come to Jesus Christ, He gives us freedom through the Holy Spirit so that we are no longer slaves to sin. We are free in Christ. But that freedom is something we need to learn to walk out. We need to train ourselves to respond differently than in the past, both in our actions and in our thought lives.

To get the most out of this study, can
we encourage you to get involved in an eGroup this month, dive into the daily readings and journal as you go, attend church each Sunday to hear the Word preached, and pray fervently for a significant year for us all - individually and collectively – as we live as FREE PEOPLE.

We are praying for you.

Blessings,
Ps Sam and Kathy Monk
