There’s something you wish you were better at. There’s something you’re trying to do, but you’re struggling. What is it specifically for you?



Are you trying to grow a business, but you’re struggling? Are you trying to date, but you’re struggling? Are you trying to fix your marriage, but you’re struggling? Are you trying to raise those kids, but you’re struggling? Are you trying to get better at communicating, but you’re struggling? Are you trying to start a ministry, but you’re struggling? Are you trying to overcome procrastination, break a bad habit, wake up earlier, or not be a grouchy hag, but girl, you are struggling?



What if I told you Jesus gives specific instructions on how to get better at the exact thing you’re struggling with? What if within your Bible is the precise answer for your struggle and it will undoubtedly help you get better. Would you look for it? Would you try it? Would you trust it?



I’m currently struggling with a few relationships that I simply don’t know how to fix. I don’t know how to heal what has been broken. I don’t know how to repair what the enemy has absolutely destroyed.



At the same time, I’m also trying to raise my 2 year old grandson who has the funnest spunkiest spirit, and yet a prideful streak in him that would rather sit in time out for hours than say sorry. And ya’ll, I’m old! My back hurts. I don’t know how to balance being grandma and mom at the same time. I can’t find the instructions for this.



And that same me is here this morning trying to speak to you, along with thousands upon thousands of others around the world who will be listening, and say something that answers your questions, guides your next steps, and points you to Jesus. But how can what you need to hear impact what thousands of others need to hear? You don’t live in the same country, you’re not in the same season of life, and your struggles look nothing alike. But I need one thing to speak to everyone that will mean something.



I’m struggling.



You’re struggling.



Could there possibly be an answer in the Bible for all these struggles? Could there be a specific solution that helps me, helps you, and helps every soul listening, SPECIFICALLY, PERSONALLY, DIRECTLY?



Yes.



This will absolutely blow your mind. Let me show you.



Jesus chose 12 people to become his disciples here on earth. Those 12 lived with Jesus for the 3 years of his active ministry here on Earth. Jesus was personally training them up to continue spreading God’s word after his death. He took several fishermen, a tax collector, a politician, a thief, and a poor hourly worker, and he taught them how to become preachers and teachers of his word. And he did all of this training in 3 years.



I wish Jesus would train me how to do the work I need to do. Jesus, I could use your advice on these relationships. Show me what to say, show me how to handle this. Jesus, I don’t know how to do all I have to do here. I can’t do this on my own. I’m struggling.



Okay, prepare yourself … this is going to blow your mind.



In the 3 years Jesus spent with his disciples, he taught them 1 thing that guided them in everything. One thing that helped them with every single thing they would ever struggle with. One thing that equipped them to go from who they were and what they used to do, to become who they were called to be and do all God had planned for them to do. Jesus taught them ONE THING.
