Podcast appearances and mentions of christ living

Everyone – everyone who believes in Jesus is called to be His ambassador. An Ambassador of Christ. That involves a change of heart, it involves a change in our actions and it involves – well, going. Ambassadors don't stay, they go. That's why being Christ's Ambassadors ain't easy sometimes.   Christ on the Inside Now, one of the things that you and I know is that we are what we eat. If what I do is I pig out on chocolates – man, I love chocolate, but we know that too much of it is bad for us; and fatty foods and sweet, sugary drinks and lots of cakes and sweets, all that stuff – if I pig out on that then who I am on the inside is going to change. I'm going to put on weight, my emotions will take a downswing, because that's what happens with too much sugar, I'll become lethargic and tired and I won't be able to cope. My heart will have to work so much harder to get blood around the larger body and my coronary arteries will get all clogged up, my blood sugar will go up ... and on and on the list goes. The impact is that I have less of a life to live now because I'm always tired, not feeling well and my life expectancy will be cut short. On the other hand, if I get a great mix of healthy cereals and grains and those brightly coloured vegetables and lean meat and all that stuff, which actually tastes pretty fantastic, the complete opposite will happen. What happens on the inside has a huge impact on what happens on the outside. Who we are on the inside – whether it be physically or emotionally or spiritually - has a huge impact on who we are on the outside. And the upshot of all that is that we simply can't be one thing on the inside and try to be something else on the outside – it just doesn't work. Last week, again this week on the programme and indeed, over the next couple of weeks we are having a bit of a chat about living our lives here on this earth as ambassadors for Christ, because that is what anyone who believes in Jesus is called to be. We are citizens of heaven, not of this earth and as Paul, the Apostle writes, in Second Corinthians chapter 5, verse 20: We are ambassadors for Christ; since God is making his appeal through us, we entreat you on behalf of Christ, to be reconciled to God. As I said, you just can't be one thing on the inside and then pretend to be another thing on the outside. You can't be Swedish on the inside and pretend to be the Indian ambassador on the outside. We can't be the devil on the inside and pretend to be an angel of light on the outside. Well, I suppose we can for a while but I suspect it's incredibly hard work, carrying on a deception like that and it doesn't take long for who we are to make its way to the outside. Jesus Himself said – Matthew chapter 15, verse 19: For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness and slander. So, if we are going to be ambassadors of Christ, then we first have to be citizens of heaven on the inside, just as the Indian ambassador has to be Indian and not Swedish on the inside. Interesting how God talked about this through His prophet Ezekiel, to His people. He talked to them about what was going on in their hearts. Have a listen – Ezekiel chapter 18, verse 31: “Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed against me and get yourselves,” listen to this, “a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel?" A new heart! I think we know what God means but that's not much of an expression that we would use today. But the expression that we would use is "a change of heart". You and I know what that means: unless something happens deep inside our hearts – on the inside - we can't change on the outside. But you know there have been issues, transgressions, sins in my life that, try as I might, I couldn't change my heart by myself. I'm guessing you have had that experience too – we all have! And that's why God made this promise too, through His prophet Ezekiel, to His people – Ezekiel chapter 36, verse 26: A new heart I will give you, a new spirit I will put within you and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. In fact, perhaps what you want to be is an ambassador of Christ but there's something right now going on in your heart; something you would love to change but you can't for yourself that you need God to do for you. So why don't we pray about that right now: Father God,this Word of yours, You are putting Your finger right on one of the deepest problems in my life. You and I both know what it is and You know that I have struggled to change my heart - I've tried my hardest, but I just can't. And so I come to You in faith and pray for Your will – Ezekiel chapter 36, verse 26 – for a new heart – a change of heart. Take out the heart of stone, O God, and replace it with a heart of flesh. Take out of me any spirit that is causing me to sin and fill me with Your Spirit. I come to You in faith. I believe that what I have asked You, You will give me because I am asking You in the name of Jesus. Amen. Now, I encourage you, if you have prayed that prayer will me, to believe, simply to believe, that God will give you the good thing that you have asked Him for and He will. That's what He says He will do and He never, ever, ever fails on His Word – ever! When the Apostle Paul was sharing the Good News about Jesus with the folk in Athens, he quoted a poem about a Greek god and applied it to Jesus. This is what he said – Acts chapter 17, verse 28: For in him we live and move and have our being. You know, for me that says it all! It's about being totally immersed in Christ; about being drenched in Jesus – that's actually the literal meaning of the word "baptised or baptism". The original Greek word was "baptidso". So when a boat was lost in a storm and it went under and it sank, it was said to have been "baptidso"d. When a fabric was dyed a new colour and it was plunged into the dye and completely drenched and it came out a new colour, it was said to have been "baptidso"d. That's exactly what the Apostle Paul writes to his friends in Rome. Romans chapter 6, verses 3 and 4: Don't you know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ were baptised into his death? Therefore, we have been buried with him by baptism into death so that just as Christ was raised again from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. It means death to the old life and the living of a new life; literally, to be "born again" – a whole new heart and filled with a new spirit; the Spirit of God this time; the Holy Spirit. It means that goodness replaces evil – not so much because we work hard at it but because God's given us a change of heart and now what happens is we actually want to honour God; we want to live a life that brings glory to Him – and that's the new life. We are going to talk more about that next. It's the new life that wins people over to Christ. It's the new life that shines like a light and brings flavour to people's lives like salt. But just as a well that is dry can't bring forth water, so a life that is empty of Christ; His very Spirit; His presence within us, so a life like that can't be an ambassador of Christ. If there are things that you have been struggling with on the inside; things that are holding you back from taking up your commission as Christ's ambassador in your little petunia patch, then here's what I encourage you to do – get with God, get in prayer, open His Word, ask Him to fill you to overflowing with His Holy Spirit. Ask Him again and again and again to give you a new heart. And just as we prayed before; just as I said before, He surely will – because He wants to – because when we bear much fruit in our lives it brings Him great glory. A new heart; a change of heart; filled with a new spirit, His Spirit.   Christ on the Outside So let me ask you a question: if you are someone who believes in Jesus and you drive a car, do you have a Jesus bumper sticker or one of those fish stickers on your bumper bar? Maybe ... maybe not! I mean, even if you don't, that's okay, I don't either, but if you had to put one on your car, let me ask you, does your behaviour on the road as a driver match up to what the sticker advertises? I mean, are you a courteous driver who obeys all the road rules or do you break the speed limit and honk your horn at people and yell at them from the inside of your car? I guess if you're the former it would be okay to have a fish sticker or a Jesus sticker on your car because your behaviour is a good advertisement for God - in effect, because what you advertise on the sticker and how you behave match up, it works. On the other hand though, can you imagine a rude, impatient driver, who's constantly breaking the road rules, identifying themselves as a Christian, using some sticker they put on their car. It's not a very good ad for God, is it? It turns out that who we say we are; who we hold ourselves out to be and who we actually are in what we say and what we do – if those two don't match up – well, there's a name for that: we call those people "hypocrites". We have been talking about living our lives as ambassadors of Christ – “for we are ambassadors for Christ since God is making his appeal through us.” 2nd Corinthians chapter 5, verse 20. In other words, God, just as He used the Apostle Paul, wants to involve us in the business of making His appeal to the rest of the world. Now what we have seen over the course of the last couple of weeks is that we don't all have to be "Pauls" in order to do that. Diplomacy, which is the role of an ambassador, mostly happens in one on one relationships where trust is built so that governments have relationships in place to resolve difficult issues. That's the point of diplomacy and it's the role of an ambassador. See, I think sometimes we are misled into thinking: Aw, WOW, oh – an ambassador for Christ, well, that must be the pastors role not me!' because it sounds like a flashy, up front title. And earlier we saw that in order to be an ambassador of for, say India, we had to be Indian, if we're Swedish no one is going to believe we are the Indian ambassador, right? Who we are on the inside really counts. That's why God promises something new – Ezekiel chapter 36, verse 26: A new heart I will give you; a new spirit I will put within you and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. See, we can't change who we are on the outside until we have a change of heart on the inside. I've tried it, you've tried it – it doesn't work! If something first happens in our hearts though, to change us on the inside, then all of a sudden changing on the outside becomes mush easier. That's what we talked about earlier. Right now we are going to follow on with the natural continuation of that. We are going to take a look at how important it is that who we are on the outside is consistent with who we are on the inside. And that's why I kicked off with that story about the bumper sticker. It's kind of obvious isn't it? Now I'm not suggesting that you or I are ever going to live a perfect life. I pretty much make mistakes every day and probably you do too and no one ... no one expects us to be perfect. But either how we live declares that our heart and our life has been changed by God or it doesn't and if it doesn't, without putting too fine a point on it, we're being hypocrites. That's something that Jesus identified in the religious leaders of His day. They pretended to be ‘oh so holy' on the outside, but on the inside – well have a listen to what Jesus said to them – Matthew chapter 23, verses 25 and 26: Woe to you, you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisees! First clean the inside of the cup, so that the outside may also be clean. Now, I'm kind of comforted by that; I like it that Jesus is concerned both about our hearts – who we are on the inside – and our hands – what we do on the outside. If someone came to me and said, ‘You know Berni, I've heard what you have been saying – I've decided I want to be an ambassador of Christ. What do you think is the most important thing in that role?' Well, this is how I'd answer. The first thing is your heart and your relationship with God' being completely sold out to Jesus and if you don't have that, well, you can't pretend it. And the second thing is: how you behave; how you live it out, because if you say that you are one thing and you do completely the opposite, people will pick you as a phoney in a split second and then, instead of shining God's light into the world, you just turn people off. Let me give you an example. My country, Australia, has a very strong relationship with the United States of America – has had for a good many years. Now, imagine that the U.S. Government, all of a sudden, appoints a brand new ambassador and sends him across the pond to Australia. And within a few months, we discover this ambassador, he's a lecherous drunk, who can't keep his hands off other women – whether or not he happens to be any good at his trade of diplomacy – and scandal after scandal, involving this new ambassador hits the news and the press. How do you imagine such a person would influence the view that Australians have, not only of the U.S. Government but of the American people? It would be devastating wouldn't it? Not only would this so called "ambassador" hurt the people around him but he'd bring his whole Nation; his whole people into ill repute. And that's why the lives we lead as Christians are so important. Come on – let's get real!! Does hypocrisy display the glory of God? No! It brings Him and His people as a whole, into disrepute. "Oh, those Christians – they're just a bunch of hypocrites!" And God ... God doesn't like hypocrites, my friend. Listen again to Jesus – Matthew chapter 23, verse 25: Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. People talk about ‘missional living' – living out our lives as missionaries or ambassadors in this world. You know what I think the biggest thing that you and I can do to live "missionally" is to live a holy life. What's a holy life? It's a life where the cup and the plate are clean on the inside as well as the outside. Peter, the Apostle, sums it up like this in his Letter, First Peter, chapter 1, verse 14: Like obedient children, don't be conformed to the desires you formally had in ignorance. Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct, for it is written “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” My friend, there is something wonderful; utterly sublime, when we roll up our sleeves with God and get to cleaning the inside as well as the outside. And here's the thing: people notice – people sit up and take notice and think to themselves, "There's something different about that person – something good; something I trust; something I want." And there ... right there, we have an ambassador of Christ!   Taking His Love to the Sinners When I used to run an I.T. consulting firm with my business partners, we used to joke that life would be so much easier if we didn't have clients. It's true, it's just not very profitable, I guess. And the same is true when it comes to sinners – you know, those people who drink too much, or they swear too much, or they are just rude or belligerent or a pain in the neck - the most natural thing in the world for someone who loves Jesus, is to kind of recoil from them – to retreat into the holy huddle of Christian friends. I would like to finish off today with a short story about Jesus approach to sinners. It comes from Luke chapter 5 – if you have a Bible, come on, open it up with me – let's go there – it's a confronting and edgy story – gets right in your face, just the way Jesus meant it to be. Come on, let's have a listen. Luke chapter 5, verses 27 to 32: After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And Levi got up, left everything, and followed Jesus. Then Levi gave a great banquet for Jesus in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them. The Pharisees and the scribes, well, were complaining to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” But Jesus answered, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but the sinners to repentance. Now, here's the thing: the Romans occupied Israel in the first century – this godless empire occupied God's people; God's Promised Land and ruled over them. And the way they collected taxes was effectively, to tender it out to individuals; people like Levi; people who were Jews! They would bid for the right to collect the taxes on behalf of the Romans and the highest bidder would win. And so in order to make a profit, the tax collector would then find all sorts of ways of extorting additional taxes from the people. Now, Levi was sitting in a tax booth, collecting taxes from people who used the road to ship their goods and so forth – a bit like a modern day toll road. And what made it worse, not only did he extort taxes; not only did he cheat and lie but he was working for the Romans – Levi, a Jew, ripping off his fellow Israelites! So, this was not the sort of guy you would want to talk to or have as a friend or approach for any reason whatsoever. But Jesus ... Jesus approached him; Jesus called him, the way a Rabbi calls disciples. Jesus went to this sinner, Levi, this abhorrent, disgusting traitor – as far as all the other Jews were concerned – and not only did He say to Levi, “Follow me,” He went to dinner; a banquet at Levi's house with a whole bunch of other tax collectors. Now the religious people, the Pharisees, instead of saying, "Man, what a great idea – taking the love of God right into the middle of the sinners – loving them, listening to them, healing them, maybe even bringing them to repentance," instead of that, the Pharisees, they found some theological, religious reasons for criticising Jesus. Now, let me ask you this – brutal; right to your face: when it comes to sinners, are you more like Jesus or more like the scribes and Pharisees? Come on! It's a question we need to ask. The thing about an ambassador is that he doesn't stay at home in his own country where he knows everyone; his friends are and he's comfortable – he gets on a plane, with his family, sets up his home right in the middle of this other foreign country that he has been posted to as an ambassador. Get it! You and I, if we truly are Christ's followers, you and I are called to "go". Not to sit at home in our holy huddles were we are comfortable. Don't get me wrong: having Christian friends is great, going to church is great but we're called to live on the mission field – we are called to go to the sinners the way Jesus did. And while sometimes that means going to another part of the world, true, most times it just means touching the colleague at work, inviting over the neighbours next door for a barbecue because you have heard them screaming at each other and their marriage is falling apart and what they need in their lives is Jesus. What they need to know is that He loves them. What they need to have is a personal encounter with the Saviour who came for them. Not just for us, for them – the Saviour who died for them - the Saviour who rose again to give them a new life and an eternal life. What they need – the "Levis" in our world – they need Jesus. So, I am going to ask you again, when it comes to the ‘Levis' in your world, are you Christ to them or are you a Pharisee? Do you go to them with the love of Jesus or do you sit at home with your friends and complain about them? My friend, these people who are hurting, who are dying, who are going to a Christ-less eternity, my friend, they need an ambassador – they need an ambassador of Christ who looks just like you and just like me.

"The grace of God is not a license to sin, but a license to live." These powerful words from Pastor Taylor Guerin frame a transformative exploration of Romans 6, where we confront one of Christianity's most challenging paradoxes: If God's grace always rises above our sin, shouldn't more sin simply produce more grace?Drawing from Paul's emphatic response, Pastor Taylor guides us through the radical transformation that occurs when we come to Christ. Using the powerful imagery of baptism, he illustrates how believers experience both a "spiritual obituary" and a "spiritual birth certificate" - the old self dies, and a completely new creation emerges.This sermon doesn't shy away from difficult questions. While no believer would openly suggest sinning more to receive more grace, our actions often betray this very mindset when we willfully disobey with the assumption of forgiveness. Through personal stories and biblical insights, Pastor Taylor challenges us to examine where we might still be clinging to our "old address" instead of embracing the freedom of our new life.Whether you're struggling with persistent sin, wondering about the purpose of baptism, or seeking to understand the relationship between God's grace and our daily choices, this message offers practical guidance for your spiritual journey. You'll discover why motivation matters in overcoming sin, how the Holy Spirit empowers transformation, and what it truly means to be "dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."For believers feeling defeated by recurring sin patterns and those who haven't yet experienced new life in Christ, this message offers both challenge and hope. God's grace doesn't just cover our sin—it transforms our very relationship with it.

Too often, we treat the resurrection as hope for someday—when we die, we'll go to heaven. But what if the resurrection means something for right now? In this episode, we dive into Ephesians 2 and the restoration of Peter to show how Jesus didn't just rise so we could escape this life—He rose to transform it. You've already been raised with Christ. That means you can live free, restored, and empowered today.Support the show

Join us as we dive into Colossians 2:1-7 and uncover The Purpose of the Gospel Being Revealed. The Apostle Paul's deep love for the church reminds us of the calling to grow in faith, stand firm against deception, and live with confidence in Christ.Key Themes:

Pastor David MorrisonColossians 1:25-27 (NLT)- The secret being revealed is something people have been looking for since the fall of humanity.- God's plan of salvation for all people has been revealed, and this plan is not unknowable. It's not something that only pastors know the secret to; it is shown because God has revealed it. All People Are Looking for an Answer and are Ultimately Searching for Hope.- Where do you search for hope? New Year's is when most people try to reset and figure things out. People should lead healthy, disciplined, and happy lives, but your hope will only be found in the revelation of God through the person of Jesus Christ. God's Plan for Salvation Won't Make Sense to Most People Without Experiencing God Personally. 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NLT)- Have you ever tried to explain the gospel to someone? These statements will sound foolish unless someone has a personal experience with God. A single encounter with God is not God's only goal for you. - Think about opening a gift. People peel back the corner and think, “This is it.” They pursue a feeling without seeking the fullness of God's revelation.- Have you ever had a moment where God peels back the corner, and you encounter His presence? Peel Back the Corner and Experiencing a Piece of God's Presence is Not the Whole Miracle. - The revelation of God is not solely an external experience of God. - Think about it this way: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…and He created man and woman. He placed them in a garden, and He would walk with them in the cool of the evening. I would submit that even the garden was incomplete…it wasn't God's ultimate plan. Colossians 1:27 (NLT)- Not only does God want to walk with you, but His plan is revealed: He wants to dwell inside of you. Christ Living in Me is the Gift. - The plan of God is revealed. You will not just know about God or experience Him periodically…but you will be so intimate with Him that He will be allowed to move into your heart…and cast out all the other things you have allowed to take leadership in your life. Galatians 2:20 (NLT)- Christ died so we could live with Him, and He invites us to die for the things we pursued for Hope. This is the Hope for me, and this is the Hope for You. I no longer live, but Christ is alive in me. He is my source of hope forever. I pray for miracles in your life, but the greatest miracle is when you surrender, rip off the paper, and accept the gift of His salvation. This gift can be yours today.

Summary: The maturing process brings us to the point where we have a response to people that is not our own thinking. We realize we have received an impartation of God's Spirit, which flows out to others. Instead of responding with the human mind, the words come from deep within in what He has made us. Now it is possible to begin to recognize each other as that new creation in the Body of Christ. Show Notes: The reality of having Christ in our heart can come through at any time showing us how much He has created us. It is not just for yourself in your relationship with Him, but also for an outflow to give to others. We can begin to discover the amount of preparation He has given us, so that we can minister from that flow of living water that He has given us. As we reject the human mind and draw on Him for the mind of Christ, we are receiving His thinking. It draws that “knowing Him” that unveils His many qualities that become part of the flow of Spirit. Rather than speaking from the intellect, there is a flow of the Spirit, being open for the Lord to transform us. This is not about dissecting why we are or how we function, but participating in the many membered body in an opportunity to see how perfectly knit together we are becoming. What comes out of this participation is that each one begins to learn who they are themselves and who each other is. Quotes: There is a response that comes out of you that is not your thinking on a human level, but it's the thinking that comes out of knowing Him and having received impartation of who He is. The human mind is enmity against God and that is why the Scripture says to put on the mind of Christ. God created each one of us just exactly the way we are. God chooses the lame, halt and blind because He is not interested in our great abilities for scholarship or any of that. He is interested in our hearts being open to Him so that He can impart His Spirit. Are you willing to be Christ in the earth?

Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's lesson "Living in Service; Walking in Humility" explores the virtues of humility and service as central to the spiritual teachings of both Buddha and Christ. Drawing from Thich Nhat Hanh's Living Buddha, Living Christ, it highlights how both spiritual leaders exemplified these qualities through their actions—whether Jesus washing his disciples' feet or the Buddha renouncing wealth for enlightenment. The lesson examines humility as a teachable openness and service as an expression of compassion.

What Meister Eckhart learnt, and we can learn, from The Beguines.

This year we are reading and studying the book of Romans. We continue this year-long series with Missions Pastor Dr. Benji Lavender speaking from Romans chapter 8 with two vital reminders about how true Christianity involves a fight against sin that we are all called to engage in by the power of the Spirit.

How many times have you assumed that being a Christian was not cool? How many times did you think you had to choose between passion and purpose? Or maybe, did you realize the company you have kept are people you may have to separate yourself from in order to grow spiritually? It is so much better to be in the world but NOT of the world and IT IS VERY MUCH SO possible to enjoy and live your life as someone who truly loves God ! Tune in to see how Brianna, Deborah, and Chanda have lived their life as daughters in Christ and how what they have experienced and what they advise may be able to help YOU!

More and more today we hear about instant rewards. Even everyday must-haves now come with same-day delivery attached to them. However, when it comes to Christ, building and growing our relationship in Him, we discover it's more of a process than an instantaneous result. Victorious living is not always about the rewards but rather the requirements attached to our relationship with Jesus. Thomas expands on this further in this message.

3/10/23 6am CT Hour - Kevin O'Brien/ Omar Aguilar/ Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg John, Glen and Sarah chat about Pope Francis honesty about his health, Mexican Cartel kidnapping case, and National Mario Day. Kevin explains why we are seeing a crisis of men these days and how men gathering in Christ will strengthen their ability to stand up.

Sermon on being raised to new life and Christ now living in you when you become a Christian (Scripture: Galatians 2:20)

This first episode of, “Walking in the Spirit,” is an introductory conversation about what it means to give up a self-directed life for a Spirit-directed life; the difference between believing, being saved, and being a son of God; and the importance for us as Christians to have activated spiritual senses. Key points from this episode include: * The foundation of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (if you are unclear on this, please check out this podcast) * What it means to be a son of God * The importance of spiritual maturity and being able to discern, receive revelations, and see & hear in the Spirit * The maturation process of understanding our identity and oneness in Christ * Living as ‘mere human beings’ vs. the supernatural design of Christian life * I hope this episode helps you raise your expectation of what ‘normal’ is, of what it means to be a mature son of God, and of what your union with God means. If you’d like to dive deeper into working with Holy Spirit to reveal your true identity in Christ, schedule a free breakthrough call with us: https://schlyce.krtra.com/t/ahbfKYlU1PlF

[00:30] Crocodile Tears (7 minutes) Former House Speaker John Boehner wept sore while delivering a tribute to Nancy Pelosi yesterday at her U.S. Capitol portrait unveiling. Boehner broke down when he began to tell Pelosi how much his Democrat daughters admire her. Isn't it amazing that so many Republicans absolutely adore Democrats despite how radical that party has become over the past decade? [08:00] Keeping SBF Quiet (6 minutes)Fraudulent cryptocurrency baron and major Democrat donor Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas this week, just in time to avoid testifying before Congress. Although SBF says he never meant to defraud anyone, new details indicate that his company was a fraud from the beginning. [14:30] Cover-up Chaos (21 minutes) Kari Lake told Tucker Carlson that there was “malicious intent” behind the chaos in Maricopa County on midterm election day, which she intends to prove in her lawsuit. The media continues to cover this up, like they concealed and lied about Hunter Biden's laptop in 2020. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis at the U.S. southern border is getting worse, but the White House is still turning a blind eye. [35:30] Christ Living in You (20 minutes) The Apostle Paul wrote a lot in his epistles about living “in Christ.” In 2 Corinthians 12:2, Paul called himself “a man in Christ.” Our real strength resides in Jesus Christ, who can live in us by the power of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 2:20).

Women's Bible Study at Compass Bible Church

November 27, 2022: Christ Living in Me - Galatians 2:19-21 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[a] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. Questions: 1. How do you struggle to believe that God loves you as much as He loves Jesus? 2. If Jesus is living you, what does that mean regarding all the temptations of this world? 3. When have you experienced the strength of Jesus Christ living in you? How can that be an encouragement and a motivation for you right now? 4. How can you exalt in the cross of Jesus Christ?
