Lose to Win

Most people think the secret to happiness in life is getting things that make you happy. Jesus says happiness comes from understanding real love... giving yourself away to serve others while trusting a loving God to take care of your needs.
Lose to Win is a study of John 13-17 where Jesus taught who we are as dearly loved children of God and that losing our life allows the Spirit of God to empower us to live like Jesus. L.O.S.E. is an acronym for the four spiritual habits that help us to walk in the Spirit; Listen, Obey, Serve and Evangelize

The LOSE to Win study helps you understand how to study the Bible for transformation, not just information, and how the Holy Spirit works in your life. Revival is simple. When we sin, we grieve and block the Spirit of God from working through us. The secret to living in the power of the Spirit is losing your life; not living for your selfish desires but denying selfish desires so that God can work through you to do what he wants.

Lose to Win is a study that explores the last teaching of Jesus on the night before he went to the cross. Jesus explains that what will be even better than God with you in the form of a man (Jesus) is God in you (the Holy Spirit). Most people have little understanding of what the Holy Spirit does in their lives. Lose to Win studies what Jesus taught about his disciples about what the Holy Spirit would do the night before the cross.
