he will enlighten our darkness and we alternate between promises and commands you've heard it in this church often that our goal as christians should be that by the time we reach the end of our lives um we have god has been able to fulfill

that in 28 we read that God causes all things to work together for our good so that we may be conformed in verse 29 to the image of Jesus Christ that we could become like him in character that is the reason why God is working on us in chiseling in hammering and taking out certain parts which

what God has done for us in Christ. And the next three chapters are telling us what we should do

overcoming but that part's a little bit harder for us to recognize for ourselves but also for our kids and um i was thinking that part of the inheritance that we have to own for ourselves as disciples of jesus christ but also to pass down to our children

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

and look at what Paul says this is the testimony of someone who believes God giveth more grace when the burden grows greater because what Paul says is most gladly therefore will I boast about my weaknesses so that the power of Christ

verse 27 that jesus christ is coming back for his church he's not coming back for santosh specifically he's not coming back for me in that individualistic kind of way that allows me to somehow have an identity on my own read what it says

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

the ruler the fair judge says i accept it because jesus is a man and you santosh have put your identity completely in christ you've given yourself completely to christ you he owns you completely you're his so he can sign for you

light of the world you see how verse 14 follows on from who you are your identity are you verse three poor in spirit this is how you get the life of christ that is the light of men and the light shone under in the darkness and the light was the life

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

about two men both who are Christians and the the thing about these men is they had exactly the same day the same circumstances in their day but um I want to talk share about them in their day and then also how their day

me about the future i think this is so important for us to understand as christians because it makes a difference about how we live our lives for many years i was a christian who had my sins forgiven a clear conscience with

give at conferences on the work business side is visible on YouTube and they'll say listen I watched your your keynote at some conference but then YouTube took me to another one where you talked about being a Christian in the workplace and I

that's a very unhappy Christian life Tony it clergy wish them on a Christ through Utah some coach check out my new Chrysler youth on and such people whenever nobody is watching they will do those things I plan to Elaine yesterday

and so it's good for us to study it because there we can learn the secret of paul's life he uses a beautiful expression in chapter 5 verse 20 where he says we are ambassadors for christ we all know what an ambassador is

new creation the old has gone right so always remember dear brothers and sisters that we have a new identity in Christ that's why we don't need any attention from anywhere the attention that we have is enough the Lord is with

Christ so there we saw the father's purpose for our lives and that's very important it's like when you get in the train or you know what your destination is going to be and that's what you're aiming for and you don't get down in any

or you look for people who look like me my community you can't build the church because Jesus Christ is building the church with people of all Races I like to be in a church where there are people of many races

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

can ask for the word of His grace to be opened up to us I'm okay podium a Christian Eli and I'm okay they with the croupier was a nom nom occurred the Toros algebra under the brothel yeah you know we can if you come to study the
