that must be your goal not one giant that i see in the land of canaan must remain alive there may be a thousand giants in the land of canaan have not yet seen unconscious part of me areas where i'm not like christ i'm not worried about

can share and encourage each other in a way that we can give lower to God for what he has done to us this past week but this can only be done if we find ourselves in the need of Jesus Christ that we must need and realize that our

have God and we have Jesus. We have the Holy Spirit that lives in us. And that is far in my experience and my walk with Christ. That is so far more important to me and something that gives me a better assurance than seeing the Red Sea split.

verse 3 it says Christ is a radiance of God's glory imagine there is no Christ then there's no radiance then you don't get to see the picture of God's glory

and you to the uttermost as long as we are drawn near to God through him and the Proteas anyone who wants to come to God must come through Jesus Christ Jesus himself said I am the way and the truth

christ comes again many people think of the two groups of believers and unbelievers being separated in that day but this verse tells us they're going to be two groups among the believers that means two groups among those of us

past two days a friend introduced me to it a couple of days ago it's a song called good good father by christian band called house fires and the chorus is very simple it's it just says you're a good good father that's who you are

it's it's called building the church versus Building self perfect so recently I was actually listening to Daily Devotional by Zach and um I was it was called um having the same attitude as Christ Jesus and I encourage you guys to listen to it

from our spirit when Christ comes in Galatians 3:13 says Christ became a curse for us on the cross it's an amazing thing he didn't only die on the cross he actually became a curse so that we might receive the blessing that's

love of money recently so uh as a church uh our motive the local body of the church we have a convict conviction to uh to be completely with a reflection in the transform into the reflection of jesus christ

i became a born again christian i had a very little face eight years ago i was feeling very unappreciative of my life and for a long time i was desperate to find the lord because i believe that he was the answer to find my purpose

so we've been studying the sermon on the mount matthew five six and seven and uh we saw it as a description of growth in christlikeness if we take this these three chapters seriously

God's eyes there is one standard that is Christ likeness and in order to attain that Christ likeness God has to do some work in us that is through the frictions through the trials that we go through in our life thank God for this words it

God's showed me her spoke to me about this this worse so about a month and a half ago I shared about persecution the light I received about persecution then many times when we think about persecution we think about Christians

I want to establish about baptism baptism first of all is a choice we have to make Christianity is not forced on you Christianity is not something that because your father is a Christian you become a Chris Christian Christianity is

of Jesus in a mirror and are transformed by the Holy Spirit from glory to glory to glory to glory when does it stop it stops when we become like Christ never before that here's another way to discover whether you're living under the old Covenant or

remember when I first started taking Christianity seriously a few years ago one of the biggest questions that I had is will God fill me with His Holy Spirit I had heard about other people's testimony and experiences but I was

for me i chose jesus as a young boy and so i'm often reflecting thinking did i choose him because i was raised as a christian or because i was forced to or uh did i really mean it but um returning to it today i am grateful to say that i

i will recite we're up to verse 17 so we'll recite from verse seven but whatever things were gained to me those things i have counted as loss for the sake of christ

so we are continuing the series on holding this strongly to the Christian life a strong grip on the Christian life and we use the example of the hand the

that poll nurse to ask God this question am I my brother's keeper and when I see Christ I see he came with that purpose to take care of us whom he proudly calls his brothers so these are the two things I was in my

verse 28 and 29 to be conformed to the image of jesus christ and also to be fully functioning members of the body of christ so as it relates to our goal we should be perfectly united but there are areas in which we won't be perfectly united namely
