Walking in Love

Gary DeLashmutt

1 John 2:3-11

Walking in a lifestyle of sacrificial love is a priority within the Christian life. Loving others deepens our intimacy with God as He guides us, assures us, gives us peace, and develops a more confident prayer life for others. Love is the culmination of God's commandments, and God provided the resources to love radically through giving His Holy Spirit which enables us to love all types of people the way Jesus did.

Fear

Gary DeLashmutt

1 John 2:3-11

Fear is a universal and inevitable part of the human condition. Letting God teach you how to fight through your fears will lead to freedom from enslavement to fear, increasing confidence that God will be with you no matter what befalls you, and increasing ability to help others trust God with their own fears.

Introduction

Gary DeLashmutt

1 John 2:3-11

We are deeply broken people living in a badly broken world, but we are designed for personal love relationships. Making truth-guided choices leads to long-term emotional health, while feelings-guided choices leads to long-term emotional problems.\r\n

God Transforms His People

Dennis McCallum

Colossians 1

God invites us to transformation in three key areas. First, God wants to transform our values so that our trust in Him and hope in heaven leads to loving other people. God also wants to transform our thinking as we study His Word; not just what we think about but also how we think. Finally, God wants to transform our actions so that we accomplish good works through His power. The only thing that God asks of us is a willingness for Him to transform us!

Get Your Head Together

Jim Leffel

Romans 8:1-27

Our new identity in Christ allows us to pursue spiritual growth through living according to the Holy Spirit. This happens as we set our minds habitually upon the Holy Spirit's work, leading to real life and peace. Five things that we should consider in our minds are: 1) the Holy Spirit's living presence in our lives; 2) how the Holy Spirit allows us to relate to God; 3) the transforming power of the Spirit; 4) the Spirit's ability to comfort and coach us in God's work; and 5) the Spirit's leading.

Exploring Our Identity

Jim Leffel

Romans 6:1-13

Spiritual growth is based off living out our new identity in Christ. All who have placed their faith in Christ have been permanently placed into Christ and his life lives in and through them. As a result, we are grafted into Christ and removed from being identified with Adam, and are considered as dead to our sin nature but alive to God. As we choose to live on the basis of what God says about us in His Word, we are able to present ourselves to God in our new identity, ready to be used by Him for His purposes.

Exchanging the Old Self For the New (Part 2)

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 4

Our new identity in Christ allows us to see real character change. As we move away from the old way of life we used to live before knowing God, we can see transformation in the ways we consider areas such as work ethic, speech, and resolving conflict. When we encounter real peace with God through Christ, we are able to see that God's Will includes being at peace with others as we live out of our new identity.

Becoming Who We Are (Part 1)

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 1:3-10

Paul's letter to the Ephesians begins with an emphasis on the new identity given to those who put their faith in Christ. This is a central message across Paul's letters and deeply impacts how we relate to God and others. Understanding and living out of our new identity is the key to real, lasting change in our lives. As Christians, we can rest in our adoption into God's family, the redemption we have through Jesus Christ, and the forgiveness Jesus provided at the cross.
