    Break Free From The Past

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 29, 2022
     | 1,150 views

    Paul explains true Christian behavior. The old nature is dead. We are to accept Jesus as our Savior and put on the new nature. When we let Christ in our hearts, He changes us into what we should be.

    Look Up: In verses 1-4: “For ye are dead.” Simply put, we died. We should have little desire for this world and what it has to offer. Our old nature has been removed. We that have been born again are dead to sin; its dominion has been broken. Our real home is in Heaven with Jesus. -- John ...read more

    In James 1:9-12, James helps us understand that in order for us to persevere in our trials with joy, we must adopt God’s eternal perspective on poverty and wealth.

    Allow me to start with two stories to get us thinking about perspectives on having too much or too little money. 1.

    Our sinful nature and the world we live in teaches us to be self-centered. We are prone to think it is all about us, but it is not. It's all about God. In this series based on Max Lucado's book, It's Not About Me, we will explore how to live a God-centered life.

    A. Have you heard about the guy who said, “Some people call me self-centered, but that’s enough about them”? 1. Maybe you’ve known someone like that – someone who lived life like it was all about them. 2. To be honest, there was a time in my life when I was way too much like that. B. I heard a ...read more

     | 1,583 views

    The communion, the covenant, the denial, the sifting, the charge, all of these things pointed to Jesus fulfilling His ultimate purpose (to die for us), and the focus of the disciples was still on earthly things. Will we see the lesson Jesus was teaching and apply it to our lives?
