This series is designed to teach the eight principles every believer needs to understand to have an effective walk which will glorify God. As Robbie and I looked back over our walk, and those around us, we observed the fact that not fully understanding these eight principles held back most Christians, us included. They are simple concepts, but if not fully understood and believed, they lead to an ineffective walk.

We always hear about what we believe, but do we know what it means to believe? We say we are forgiven, so why do Christians constantly ask God to forgive them? We say God loves us, but do we feel that love? We know we are to love our brothers but what about those few who we really can’t stand? If we know we are to serve why does 20% of the congregation do 80% of the work? We know the Holy Spirit gives us power and helps us bear fruit so why are so many Christians powerless and bearing bitter fruit? We know Christ came to give us an abundant life, so why are we living a mediocre life? We know our lives are to glorify God, but do they?

Through this series we will

1. Know what it means to believe.
2. Once you know what it means to believe, know you are forgiven.
3. After you know you are forgiven, know God loves you.
4. When you know God loves you, you can love others.
5. Once you start loving others, you will want to serve them.
6. When you start serving others, you will have a powerful and fruitful walk.
7. Once you have a powerful and fruitful walk, you will be living the abundant life.
8. When you are living the abundant life, you will glorify God.
