Christian hope is not wishful thinking that everything will work out, but trusting that God is at work and nothing can separate us from His love.

The Holy Spirit does what we cannot do for ourselves, turning our hearts from life centered on ourselves toward life centered on God.

We are able to stop trying to justify our behaviors, because through Christ, God has already made us right with Him.

None of us are exempt from the problem of sin, which begins when we put our trust in created things instead of God.

The gospel story isn't good advice, it's good news. Not what you must do for God, but what Christ has already done for you.

Waypoint is about gathering ordinary men and women to discover the courageous love of the Lord.

Waypoint is about EQUIPPING you to live out your faith daily.

Waypoint is about INVITING you into a new life with Christ.

Big Idea: Confession is where hiding dies and grace begins to heal. Reflection: Why does the Samaritan woman remain with Jesus after He exposes her past? What truth about yourself is hardest to say out loud? Action Step: Honestly confess a struggle, sin, or burden to a trusted Christian friend, mentor, or pastor.

Big Idea: Spiritual growth begins with honest self-awareness. Reflection: Who are you comparing yourself to, and why? What in your life would you rather keep hidden? Action Step: Write down a few regrets, resentments, or recurring sins you need to honestly bring to the light.

Big Idea: Jesus calls us out of the systems, excuses, and identities we depend upon. Reflection: Why does Jesus ask, “Do you want to get well?” What excuses & patterns have become part of your identity? Action Step: Clench your fists tightly as you picture the fear, excuse, habit, or burden you are holding onto. Then slowly open your hands in prayer, asking Jesus to help you release control and receive healing.

Big Idea: Faith begins when we trust Jesus more than our own expertise. Reflection: Why do you think Peter chose to obey Jesus after a long night of failure? Would you have done the same? Where is Jesus asking you to trust Him simply because He says so? Action Step: Practice a breath prayer this week— Inhale: “Jesus Christ” Exhale: “I trust You.”

Big Idea: Transformation begins when we stop pretending we can save ourselves. Reflection: Where in your life are you still trying to stay in control? Why is admitting weakness so difficult? Action Step: Identify one area of your life you are still trying to manage through your own strength instead of trusting God.

Discipleship is often progressive. Jesus heals the blind man in stages because spiritual insight usually develops slowly and relationally. 12 Steps to Discipleship Study Guide
