Session 10 – The Removal Business

Step 7: We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings

“God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” Ephesians 3:20 - The Message

Topic for thought

This week we are tackling Step 7, which is all about humbly asking God to actually begin removing our character defects and shortcomings that we have spent the last week identifying. We are now voluntarily submitting to every change God wants to make in our lives.

The Issue

The purpose of Step 7 is for us to actually ask God to remove our character defects and shortcomings. He will probably do this one defect at a time rather than all in one go. He will do this in partnership with you and it will take time. We need to give him our permission and let him get on with it in his own time and way.

    Every group is different. For each session, choose the approach that works best for your group: select one of the testimony videos that you feel fits with your group, invite someone to share their recovery story live, or choose not to include a testimony.

Weekly Resources for Guests

After each session, you can give your guests access to the resources for that week. These are designed to help them revisit the session, reflect on what they have learned and continue exploring the week's theme between sessions.

What's included?

Each week's guest resources include:

  • Session Video
    Watch the session again or revisit a particular section.

  • Pause for Thought
    Take some time to reflect on the themes explored during the session.

  • Coursework
    Continue exploring the week's theme and put what you have learned into practice.

How to give your guests access

At the end of each session, simply share the link to that week's resources with your guests.

You can share the link in whatever way works best for your group, for example by email, text message or WhatsApp.

If some guests would prefer to work from printed materials, you can also print the Pause for Thought and Coursework and give these to them at the end of the session.

Choose whichever approach works best for your group. You can also use a combination of digital and printed resources to make sure everyone can access the materials in a way that works for them.
