Message 1: “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves”

Summary:

In this episode, we explore the popular but unbiblical saying, “God helps those who help themselves.” We examine the difference between relying on self-effort versus trusting in God’s grace and provision. Through stories of biblical figures like Gideon, we learn that God’s help is not based on our abilities but on our dependence on Him.


Key Takeaways:


• God’s help is an act of grace, not something we earn by self-effort.

• True faith recognizes our need for God’s strength and guidance.

• Our actions should be a response to God’s leading, not a prerequisite for His help.

Call to Action:

Reflect on areas in your life where you may be relying on your own strength instead of trusting God. This week, practice surrendering those areas to Him in prayer.
