NOTES:

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”
            Luke 22:31-32 (NLT)

THREE COMMON SHADOWS:

LONELINESS

The Lie: LONELINESS is part of being a man.
The truth: You are as rich as your RELATIONSHIPS

“A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.”
            Proverbs 17:17 (NLT)

APATHY

The Lie: There is NOTHING worth giving yourself for.
The truth: You were born to live a life of CONSEQUENCE.

“No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.”
2 Timothy 2:4 (NIV)

AMBITION

The Lie: Ambition is fuel for PERSONAL success
The Truth: Ambition is a gift for KINGDOM impact

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition…” Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

BOTTOM LINE:
You were MADE for the LIGHT

CHALLENGE:
FACE the shadow. FIGHT the shadow.
