Course Description:
*Based on the book The Indwelling LIFE of CHRIST, by Major W. Ian Thomas
Are you exhausted from trying to be a “good Christian”? Do you find yourself constantly falling short of your own spiritual expectations, wondering why other believers seem to have this joy and peace that you’re still searching for? Here’s what I want you to know: You’re not broken or spiritually defective. You’re just trying to do something that’s absolutely impossible. Major Thomas asks the question that will revolutionize your faith: “Why do we keep failing even in our best efforts to live the Christian life?” His answer will blow your mind: Because no one other than Jesus Christ can live it, for the simple reason that He IS the Christian life! You’ve been trying to live a life that only Jesus can live. No wonder you’re tired!
This study will transform how you understand Christianity through fifty short, powerful chapters based on Colossians 1:27 – “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” You’ll discover why your best efforts keep falling short (and why that’s actually good news), how to stop trying to live FOR Christ and start letting Christ live THROUGH you, and the difference between Christ as your helper vs. Christ as your life. This isn’t another course about trying harder – this is about discovering that Christ doesn’t just want to help you live the Christian life, He wants to BE your Christian life. Every believer can embrace the indwelling life of Jesus Christ, and victory in Christian living comes not through human effort but through Christ living His life through you. Are you ready to stop striving and start thriving?
