have but it's helped me to um remember I'm on an even ground with every single other person and Ephesians 4 32 says be kind to one another compassionate forgiving one another just as God in Christ has also forgiven you

there's a lot of christians but some seem to get something much higher and deeper than others and it challenged me this week i was reading a short a kid's story of an african teenage boy named samuel morris and we have a kids book at home

reply he's never going to progress because there's so much fear stopping him because he thinks if I make one background move it's over and a lot of times in our Christian life we can lose boldness because we forget that God's

starting from verse 17 to verse 19 it says so that christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and that you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length

at um a party celebrating something and they're so happy that they they're like doing a toast or a cheer or something with some Cup in their hand and so uh I think that that's kind of the picture of a Christian who's so joyful in the Lord

how they're doing he and he tried to take care of everything it's one of the best attitudes I've ever seen in my life and and I don't know if he was a believer or not but he definitely had the character of Christ of a hard worker optimistic he

they thought he should be loving them uh and they feel like god's love let them down and we've heard that the christian life is like a three-story building the foundation of that building has to be god's love for us if god's love is

some hedge around us that we feel like can't go past and the immature christian may see it as a prison um and by the way i'm not talking about prayers for things that he promised in his word like seeking him to help fight some sin

to Jesus and drink it's I came to Jesus and drink drink many years ago when I came and wanted to be a Christian and wanted to follow him and give my life to him but I need to come to him again it's I'm thirsty I'm thirsty it feels like

way consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus and I I figured the way I look at this verse is if I'm going to consider myself dead to sin that means that I'm telling

God is speaking to me and careful to listen to it as we progress through the Christian life I believe that God is refining us in other words our sins are the sins that if we're taking and heating his word the sins that we're

thankful for you guys all the time um that we're I don't know if we weren't Christians we probably wouldn't ever known each other but because we're Christians we have one uniting bonds so I wanted to share three things that I

they go together and there's three important math problems that I think helped me understand discipleship and love together the first one is Christianity - love equals religion the second one is the Bible - love equals a law and a third

i cannot end like this and so they ran so hard they actually ended up winning the race and i thought can my life look like that after i've fallen i know it can because peters did paul's did follow is giving into murder and persecuting christians

been listening to in the series that we've been going through the basic Christian teaching studies touches on that that I wanted to share something about that was the the maximum versus the minimum Christian and so I'll just

that from the Lord you will receive the reward of The Inheritance it is the Lord Christ whom you serve so um if I read that verse simply I think anybody can take uh a simple example that simple lesson um that's plain plain in God's

the rest of my life that's a very common but a shameful way of thinking I think the blessing of the new covenant that we've had our eyes OMA to is that we can have authority over our sins because the Holy Spirit's living inside of us Christianity is the

the only perfect one who could do it his son Jesus his free gift to us puts peace in our hearts and motiv M motivates us to be Christlike so we should strive not to sin just as if we were dead people who have been brought to

Covenant Christian Fellowship I think it's important for everybody um to understand why we think that that phrase is important the words New Covenant it's kind of uh complicated I think um I was a Christian for a long time and I think

what Raymond just said that the only thing serious is sin sin is more important than a little wasted time and uh it it's these types of things that have really helped me in my growth in my Christian life is to see what is the

what we do and I've seen that it's a very fine line for a sincere Christian to turn their life into a religion and it's a kind of a cliche coat but Christianity is not a religion it's a relationship and if I ever let my
