Who God sent us

Who God sent us

Romans 1:2-5 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.

His Kingdom Comes

- The Holy Spirit is the King's Presence [John 14:15-18, 26; Acts 2:1] - The Holy Spirit is the King's Power [Acts 1:8, 2:1-8] Sin divides while the Holy Spirit unites. - The Holy Spirit Changes How We Live [Galatians 5:22-23, Acts 2:12-13]

Right Attitudes, Part II

Romans 1:1 - Attitude #1: A slave (doulos) of the Christ Jesus - Attitude #2: Called (kletos) to be an apostle/minister Romans 1:6, Romans 1:7, Romans 14:7-8, Matthew 28:19-20, Luke 19:10, Luke 9:23 - Attitude #3: Set apart (aphoridzo) for the Gospel of God Galatians 1:15, Isaiah 49:1, Jeremiah 1:4-5, Genesis 3:15, Acts 13:3, Romans 8:28 So what does that mean for us? Where do we go? - Start with surrender.  - Make space to hear his voice.  - Find your Antioch.

Right Attitudes, Part I

Attitude #1: A slave (doulos) of Christ Jesus Romans 1:1 - …Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus… Understanding of Slavery - The slave was owned. [1 Peter 1:19] - The slave exists for his master.  - The slave didn’t have a day off.  - The slave’s will belongs to the master. [2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV] - Throughout the Bible, being a slave of God is the highest honor.
