WHAT WAS I THINKING?: I Am Not Enough

Apart from God we are ____________ enough.

[Romans 3:9-12] Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin.

No one does good, not a single one."

The world says you are not ________ enough.

[Ephesians 2:9-10] Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. [10] For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

God calls you His ______________________.

[Psalm 139:13-17] You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. [14] Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!

Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. [17] How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!

The key to change isn’t trying ________________, it’s believing ______________________.
