1.0K41:17DyingMAT 6:33ROM 6:11ROM 6:16COL 3:2In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us rather than relying on our own efforts. He refers to Romans 8:13, which encourages believers to mortify the desires of the flesh through the Spirit. The speaker also highlights the significance of our bodies, which were bought by Jesus, and how we are called to glorify God in them. He explains that living for God is a continuous process, moment by moment, and refers to Romans 6-11 to emphasize the need to be alive to God through Jesus Christ. The sermon addresses the struggle of wanting to do what is right but often falling into sin, and encourages believers to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit for victory over sinful behaviors.
You Are His Epistle
88236:46Christ LikenessMAT 6:33ROM 8:91CO 2:142CO 3:3EPH 2:10COL 3:171PE 2:9In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of believers being the message of Christ to the world. He uses an anecdote about a man who received the wrong order at a restaurant but accepted it with a smile, illustrating how Christ can be seen through our actions. The preacher explains that Christ accomplishes this by purchasing our bodies and making us His message to the lost. He emphasizes that believers no longer have the right to make their own decisions, but should allow Christ to direct their steps and use them as His instruments. The sermon concludes with a reminder that everything we are in heaven is in Jesus Christ.
You Must Surrender
55432:52SurrenderLAM 1:12MAT 16:24LUK 9:23ROM 12:1GAL 2:20PHP 1:291PE 4:13In this sermon, the speaker discusses the process that a tree goes through before it can be transformed into writing paper. He compares this process to the transformation that believers in Christ must undergo. The first step is to reckon ourselves dead to sin, meaning we must eliminate sin from our lives in order to be useful to God. The speaker emphasizes that surrendering to God will often lead to suffering, which is something believers tend to shy away from. However, the speaker encourages listeners to embrace suffering for the sake of Christ and to be willing to die to sin in order to become a representation of Jesus Christ to others.
You Must Suffer
46235:59SufferingPRO 3:5In this sermon, the preacher begins by telling a story about a little girl playing in the kitchen and almost getting hurt by a knife. He then criticizes the popular image of God as someone who punishes and causes fear, saying that it is no wonder young people rebel against it. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus Christ will never ask us to give up anything permanently unless it will harm us or there is something better in store for us. He shares the story of a young woman who had her heart set on serving the Lord but died at a young age, and he reads a poem she wrote about surrendering to God's will. The preacher concludes by emphasizing the need for constant surrender and submission to God's will in our lives.
