What would it take for you to be willing to share your authentic self with people? To share what you really think and feel with the people in your life. Would you have a fear of judgment or a fear of consequences for telling the truth?
You likely have some good and some bad core beliefs from childhood. Maybe your faith is one of your core beliefs that you learned as a child, that’s awesome. But maybe the way you respond to rejection and failure is a core belief from childhood.
We believe it's vital to be our authentic selves in the church. We all know we're not perfect. God only required perfection from one Person in the history of mankind; that was His Son, Jesus.
In the church, we need to accept each other while we encourage each other to grow into being conformed to the image of Jesus. God loves each of us no matter what. And if we've accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us as we learn to hear from Him and trust Him. And we accept each other regardless of where we are in our journey as a believer.
Jesus told His disciples, "He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." (John 14:12) Those words still ring true for disciples of Jesus today. And as the world continues to grow darker, God desires that His people, His believers, to have the faith to do the works of Jesus - even the miraculous works! - in front of the world to draw them into a saving knowledge of Jesus.
So much of the teaching at The HUB focuses on living victoriously and allowing the supernatural power of God to direct us in every aspect of our lives.
