Christ Is In You
Series: No Series
Colossians speaks to a mystery that once was hidden and now is revealed. That mystery is that, when you become a Christian, Christ dwells within you. This becomes our motivation to share the Gospel with others and to realize the Gospel is meant for all peoples on Earth. We should never discriminate when it comes to sharing God’s Word with others. Colossians 1: 24-29; Matthew 10: 5-6; Ephesians 2: 11-19; Romans 1: 16 (NKJV)

Aug 26, 2018The TongueSeries: The Abundant LifeRomans says to present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and our members as instruments of righteousness to God. The tongue is a little member of our body, but the Bible tells us it is an unruly evil, full of poison. The tongue is the organ by which the heart expresses itself and nowhere is faith more visible than by our speech. Romans 6:13; James 3:5-12 (NKJV)
- Aug 19, 2018Slave vs Servant & Ownership
Aug 19, 2018Slave vs Servant & OwnershipSeries: The Abundant LifeIn Philippians, Paul refers to himself as a bond-servant (slave). The difference between being a slave of Christ and a servant of Christ is control. Servants can choose how they wish to serve, but a slave cannot for he/she is owned by God. The word slave denotes that there is a Master. Psalm 24 tells us that everything and everyone belongs to God. Brother Mike expounds on this idea of slave vs. servant and God’s ownership of all things. Philippians 1:1; Psalm 24:1 (NKJV)

Jul 29, 2018Must Be Right To Do RightSeries: The Abundant LifeAs we have discussed, the Abundant Life involves Justification, Substitution, and Consecration. These three areas create friction in our lives so we can walk with God. They enable us to “be right” with God and lead to Reconciliation, which enables us to “do right”. These four areas give our lives purpose. Today we learn how reconciliation helps us to “do right”. Galatians 6:; John 21 1-25; John 13: 37-38; Matthew 26: 31-35 (NKJV)

We obtain the abundant life through justification (Romans 5: 1-9), substitution (Galatians 2:20 and 5:24), and consecration (Romans 12:1). Then we must walk in the Spirit (Romans 5:16-17) and give up works of the flesh (Romans 5: 19-21).

Jun 24, 2018Adding Spice to Your LifeSeries: The Abundant LifeThe abundant life adds spice to your life through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. One such gift might be a calm spirit in the midst of a storm. You can be a believer and not experience the abundant life.

We need to get to the point where we have a calm spirit in the midst of the storms of life. John 10: 10; Luke 13: 10-16 (NKJV)
