Anything outside of God that we worship and find identity in is an idol. God doesn’t do threesomes, He won’t be intimate with us and our idols at the same time!

We're so quick to say our cut off game is strong, but why isn't it that strong when it comes to cutting off that rudeness or any sin that offends God? It's a contradiction and this message is designed to help us cut off the branches in our life that are unfruitful.

Often times we sabotage the good things that God wants to provide for our lives due to the feeling of unworthiness. We must unlearn the idea that we do not deserve the blessings of God as we learn how to embrace happiness.

In Matthew 23, Jesus was criticizing the Pharisees when He said, "everything they do is done for people to see." They love attention, they love views and they love going viral. That's the infection - viral infection! And the danger is when we are a people who love attention, we'll mismanage pastures.

What God wants you to go through and what you choose to go through are not the same! Being offended is a choice, not a requirement.

Being hard on yourself and calling it perfectionism is really self manipulation, because the fruit of that behavior is anxiety, overthinking, stress, burnout, and depression. Those aren't fruits of the Spirit and the gift God has given you never requires your peace of mind!
