On Sunday, One began its newest series, "Releasing Generational Burdens." This 8-week series will take a deeper look at generational curses and how to find freedom from the traits of our parents, grandparents and past generations. This Sunday's was laying the foundation for the series. Below, we have included important points to guide you through the rest of the series.

Key Points
1. God is a transgenerational God.
2. God wants exclusive rights to your life.
3. Procreation was meant to be physical and relational.
4. Satan understands the importance of God's relationship with man, so Satan fractured that relationship thus inaugurating a curse on God's children.
5. The traits of the parents often become the tendencies of their children.
6. When you are no longer giving God exclusive rights to your life, you are saying you hate God.
7. When you choose idolatry, you have created an environment for a curse to be present in the life of your children.
8. You have the power and authority to stop generational curse.

Key Definitions
Idolatry = Anything so essential to your life that if you were to lose it, you would feel that your life would not be worth living. An idol is anything that you are using to provide peace, happiness, comfort or security. Examples of idolatry include money, proving self-worth, success, appearance, entertainment, etc.
Blessings = Enjoyment/full participation in the will of God in your life.
Curse = Misery and emptiness experienced by not fulfilling your divine role and purpose.

People have an innate desire to be better than they really are. In many circles, this is praised as a desire for individual growth or improvement. But God's Word calls this PRIDE. Although we are called to be humble, just as Christ was humble, we fall into the trap of pridefulness. Wondering what this pride thing looks like in our lives? Here are a few examples.

You are prideful if you...
- are a know it all.
- are a perfectionist.
- worry about how you are perceived by others.
- are defensive.
- do it all.

We have been called to do two things in this life - glorify God and spread the gospel. Yet somewhere along the way, we began to believe that we deserved more, were entitled to certain things, achieved certain things on our own, and could take offense when mistreated by others. The result...we find that our joy is fleeting. If we develop a servant's heart we will find that our perspective on life is different because we are focused on meeting the needs of others.

Three ways to have a submissive mind (consider others as superior):
1. Consider others better than yourself. (v.3)
2. Have the mindset of a servant. (v.4-5)
3. Walk in the other person's shoes (v. 6)
