Step 12: Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs.Having had some success, we are called to help others to know the hope we have in Christ. The important message here is that we don’t wait till we have it perfect (we never will), but that we get started helping others as soon as it is healthy to do so.YouTube: https://youtu.be/jHXPJKqDnGg

Step 11: We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and power to carry that out.We are called to meditate on God’s word and to keep it ever present in our life. We must remain connected to the source of our hope and power in order to keep growing and stay spiritually, emotionally, and mentally healthy.YouTube: https://youtu.be/Hxm0DZRpyeo

Step 10: We continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.Healing is not a one time situation and growth is not a straight path. In fact, the journey is going to be full of ups and downs, mistakes and victories. Health and healing come from being vigilant and continuing to work on our improvement. God will keep working on us for as long as we live.YouTube: https://youtu.be/oUgcDCk_6Tg

Bible Text: Ephesians 4:17-24, Philippians 2:13, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, 1 Corinthians 6:11, Romans 8:13, Romans 8:28 | Pastor: Rodger Loar | Series: As You Are | Steps 6-7: We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. AND We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings. A big step is coming to the point of being ready for God to work in us and then asking for that help. This is a step of faith in God, trusting Him to have our best interests in mind. YouTube: https://youtu.be/2017GUTtqmM

Bible Text: James 5:16, Proverbs 28:13, Psalm 32:5 | Pastor: Bernie Rivera Jr. | Series: As You Are | Step 5: We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Here comes the hard stuff. To be honest with ourselves and others take a lot of courage. But, we weren’t meant to travel this path alone. This is where discipleship and accountability begin. These two words (discipleship and accountability) are loaded. The church has gotten this wrong a lot and there have been abuses. However, for us to change and grow, we need to find those we can trust. AND, those of us who are a little further down the path MUST be trustworthy and not abuse this trust.

Bible Text: Lamentations 3:40, Jeremiah 17:9, Luke 14:25-33, 2 Corinthians 13:5-10 | Pastor: Rodger Loar | Series: As You Are | Step 4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Here is where the work begins. We must look at our own lives and begin figuring out the source of our troubles. Every one of us has trauma caused by family, by ex-spouses, by our parents, by others, and by our culture. It’s important to recognize these things and address them. However, if we are to heal, we also have to get to the heart of the problem and that always involves our own choices and actions. YouTube: https://youtu.be/u5tXvBn8Cyo

Bible Text: Proverbs 3:5-6, Romans 10:9-13, Romans 12:1-2 | Pastor: Rodger Loar | Series: As You Are | Step 3: We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills over to the care of God. God involves us in our own sanctification and transformation. But we have to trust him. We trust in Him and he will make our paths straight, but that doesn’t mean it will be without work. We still have to travel the path. YouTube: https://youtu.be/4Ob7oMF1vPA

Bible Text: Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 2:8-10 | Pastor: Bernie Rivera Jr. | Series: As You Are | Step 2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. It takes God to clean us and begin the work of changing us. Without him, we are unable to do anything. YouTube: https://youtu.be/GN7nCm8IZ2o

Bible Text: Romans 3:23, Romans 7:18 | Pastor: Rodger Loar | Series: As You Are | Step 1: We admit we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable. The key to Christianity is recognizing our brokenness and need for God. Just as an alcoholic who has been sober for decades still begins the meeting, saying, “Hello, my name is John and I am an alcoholic,” the important thing to remember is that we are always a broken sinner in need of the grace of God and the redemption of Christ. This helps us move out of the seat of judgment and into the seat of the sponsor: someone who has been there and continues to struggle but helps the newcomer to begin their walk.
