Audio:
God's goal in his provision for us is to draw us back to himself. Israel constantly turned away despite God sending prophets. But it was actually through Israel's enemies that God provided a path back to the promised land.
Putting On The New Self
Audio:
Putting on the new self and living by the Holy Spirit can only come about in us if we are dying to ourselves and willing to put on the identity of Christ. It is a true act of self sacrifice. Jesus himself allowed his body, his earthly identity to be destroyed because of what it meant for humanity. What are we willing to surrender? What are we holding back?
Scriptures:
Colossians 3:1-17
Psalm 19:14
John 2:13-22
A Season We Need
Audio:
We sin, therefore we need to repent and be renewed and refreshed by the grace of God. Lent offers us a special season of Holy Spirit inspired reflection focused from the Biblical perspective, which is not necessarily our personal perspective.
Scriptures:
1 John 1:1-2:6
Psalm 16:5-11
Mark 8:31-38
Temptations Come
Audio:
As we enter the season of Lent and embrace the discipline of fasting, temptations often come more frequently and with greater intensity. This Sunday, we'll look at the nature of temptation, its cycles, and how through Christ, we overcome.
