So, after hearing today's message (Conquer the Thomas in You - http://www.mtoak.org/sermons.html), have you begun to think about where your limits are in your Spiritual Journey? Where are you a doubting Thomas, needing things proven to believe?
Where are you in your spiritual journey? Where are your growing edges in your spiritual journey where you need God, you need faith?
Maybe your growing edge or limit is reading the Bible regularly? Digging Into God's Word is what we are called to do but maybe you have a hard time doing this on a regular basis. Is this your growing edge?
Maybe your growing edge or limit is your prayer life? Praying is More Than Grace might have helped you approach this in a different way.
Maybe your growing edge or limit is walking in the Spirit? Leaning on the Holy Spirit might have presented this limit to you.
Maybe your growing edge or limit is attending worship on a regular basis. Gathering Together may have hit home with you.
Maybe your growing edge or limit is serving. Serving Others Required may have challenged your thinking.
Maybe your growing image is something else. Maybe it is trusting God with your money and tithing is your growing edge. Maybe it is witnessing to others, or holding your temper, or resisting temptations.
Next week the sermon series will sum up some of these questions. Live One Day at a Time will challenge us to seek first God and His kingdom. We will never be able to approach any of our growing edges or limits on our own. If we could, they wouldn't require faith.
So where is it in your spiritual journey that you need God? Where is faith required for you?

the sermon series has been very inspiring. i especially like the sermon on thomas. i have many areas in my life where my faith is challenged. i look forward to the rest of the series.
My "Doubting Thomas" place is tithing. I know what the Scripture says. I know I should tithe. I just haven't gotten to the place where I "trust" that I can tithe and God will take care of me.
I struggle with several temptations and have trouble believing that God can actually help me overcome them.
my Thomas moment has to do with healing. i have a hard time believing that God still heals or heals through humans.
