117 - Rejoicing In The Lord
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! • We rejoice, giving thanks to God for His indescribable gift. And yet, at the same time, we find it difficult to fully express with words what God has done for us. We experience a joy welling up from deep within, our only true response to what He has created, this new spiritual life we now have in Christ. It is not as the world rejoices, over circumstances that shift, but rejoicing in the unchanging and u

116 - Rising Above Sin
In our walk with Christ, what is our spiritual focus in regard to sin? Is it merely telling ourselves that we should not sin and then trying with all our might not to sin, or is it far more than that? Could it be about our minds so transcending this world, by seeing ourselves as we truly are, saints and priests of the Most High, that our hearts realign with God? Is it not about who He has made us to be and the joy set before us, our true future, a righteousness that comes thr

115 - Newly Born in Christ
Philippians 1:6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. • You spent your life before Christ seeing yourself a certain way based on this world. Ingrained in you was a worldly perspective that is no longer part of your new identity. You have been made new in Christ and will spend the rest of your life coming to grasp that truth. You will progressively, from one degree to another, come to see your

114 - Sanctification
Romans 12:2 “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” • Those in the world have a process of transformation that strives to become something, not from a position, but toward a position, according to what is seen in this world. The transformation that comes through Christ is far different. It is a changing of the mind where we take hold of a new identity, a position we have been given as a gift through the redemptive power of Christ’s

113 - Our God is Greater
When we are overwhelmed and our hearts seem to condemn us, what can ease our minds and slowly take our focus off ourselves is this truth: God is greater. His greatness is the driving force of our story as believers in Christ. Who He is and what He has done outweigh who we think we are based on the circumstances and situations that weigh on us. These are not the final word on how we see ourselves, nor are they our true reality. His thoughts toward us are greater, rising above

112 - A Quiet Assurance
Psalm 139:7-12 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,” Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bri

111 - Sharing Our Faith
1 Peter 3:15 NASB “Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.” Colossians 4:5-6 NASB Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. • When sharing our faith we speak of wh

110 - Love One Another
John 15:12-13 NASB This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 1 John 4:19 NASB We love, because He first loved us. • We are new, reborn and recreated, and our perspective is no longer of this world. We do not fight as the world does, against flesh and blood, but against an evil that grips men’s hearts. At one time, we too were enslaved, held captive, striving again

109 - The Joy of the Lord
Nehemiah 8:10 NASB “Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Philippians 4:4 NASB “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” 1 Peter 1:8-9 NASB “though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.” • Joy, and the overflow or expression of that joy, rejoicing, wells up
