that is not even comparable and i pray god would help me the powerful power that god has given me each day of my life there are times i often forget in my life the identity that i have in christ and

me you can do nothing." And the one who abides in Christ is as Paul says, crucified to himself. And he no longer lives, but Christ lives through him. That's what it means to abide in Christ. Your You're nameless. You You think

establish yourself in and learn how to love other people with not just keep getting fed learn to love other people practice your own being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ so that's what we try to do I hope that the visitors will

so I would like to continue from what we heard from George just now Christ died the just for the unjust that we might bring us to God there's a beautiful expression in Ephesians in chapter one

I I believe all of you are. I hope so. walking in the truth which means according to the light that we have. It is God's will that as we grow in the Christian life,

god's desire from of old and his vision and his goal for the in the new covenant is that my identity might be completely swallowed up in jesus christ and who he is this is the name that shall be called the lord's our righteousness can you imagine

I'm always amazed how Jesus could speak to 5,000 people without a mic we're all weaklings he was a strong man uh whenever we the Christian life is a
