Jeremy Utley - Feeling Disheartened?
Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Feeling Disheartened? Date: 12/29/20 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Summary
The central message is that Christians who feel disheartened or hopeless are often neglecting the foundational truth of God's boundless love. The speaker emphasizes that we must actively fight both 'low' and 'lofty' thoughts about God—such as believing He is too holy to approach—by remembering His compassion and pity. Drawing near to God requires diligently taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, making God's love the unwavering foundation of our lives.
