As God’s children we were created to live for the glory of God. But sin corrupted the original design, and now instead of living for the glory of God, we try to steal that glory for ourselves. This series will look at several Old Testament personalities who took credit for what only God could do and then challenge each of us to consider how we might be robbing God of his Glory.

“WORK IT OUT”
As you strive to apply and live out a faith of action, consider these three questions in response to the morning message:

• Why and how do you struggle with this in your own life?
• How are you already living this out in big or small ways?
• In addition to prayer, what is one thing you can do to start growing in this area?
