Today, I want to share with you a prayer for a wandering adult child, included in Kathleen Nielson's wonderful book, “Prayers of Parents for Adult Children”: “Lord God, I do not know and cannot see her heart, but all her steps appear to turn away from you, away from light and life found in your Son. I know, Lord, that you see into the darkest heart; your perfect wisdom lays out all our paths. Please turn her feet and move her heart toward you, toward life in Christ, I pray. I do not know just how you might ordain to call her to yourself to find eternal life and life abundant, through believing in your Son. I know that you have given your breathed-out Word, the writings that can make us wise for salvation as we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the living Word made flesh to save us. Please, by your Spirit and your people, speak your Word of life into her heart, I pray. I trust in you, even as I daily ask, please lead her to believe in Christ your Son, I pray.”

Life in Christ: Gal 3.1-14 | Richard Moy | 2/10/2025

As believers, we are also overcomers; those who contend, conquer, and prevail in victory through Christ. The three most common areas the enemy seeks to set up strongholds in the lives of believers to keep us from overcoming are our understanding of the goodness of God, our identity in Christ, and our belief to see the goodness of God manifested in our own life. Being aware of the nature of the battles we face and all the provisions that God has made for us to be victorious in these battles is key to living an abundant life in Christ.

Ephesians 1v13 - "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,"The new life in Christ is a life in the Spirit. We must therefore have a life that focuses on the spiritual

In order to truly participate in the Nature of God and become merciful and our Father is merciful, we must live from our life in Christ in two ways. We must truly be receivers of God's mercy, allowing our Lord to cover us again and again with the mercy He longs to give to us. Secondly, we must be the very mercy we have received from God to those who have offended or wronged us. As we both receive mercy and give mercy, we experience in a wondrous way the mercy of God towards us always. And it is only the experience of the Divine mercy of God that can transform us to become that mercy to others.

“Proverbs 2 — The Wisdom That Guards Your Life”In today's episode, we walk verse-by-verse through Proverbs 2, discovering the kind of wisdom that not only informs your life—but protects it. Scripture shows us that the first reward of pursuing wisdom isn't earthly success… it's learning to fear the Lord, the very beginning of understanding.As we explore Proverbs 2:5–22, we see how God Himself becomes our shield, our guide, and our delight. We unpack what it really means when the Bible says the Lord “stores up” wisdom for the upright, how His Word takes root in our hearts, and why true discernment keeps us from the traps of corrupt men and seductive temptations.You'll hear how foolish paths promise thrills but lead only to destruction—while God's way leads to joy, safety, clarity, and life. From Genesis to Psalms to the teachings of Jesus, we trace how Scripture consistently reveals a God who watches over His people, teaches them, protects them, and calls them to walk in His light.This message is both a warning and a comfort:• Wisdom helps you recognize twisted words, false promises, and deceptive influences.• It keeps your feet off crooked paths.• It shapes your heart to hunger for righteousness.• And ultimately, it draws you into a deeper, abiding life in Christ.If you're hungry for biblical truth, if you love verse-by-verse teaching, or if you simply want to grow in discernment and wisdom—this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and point you back to Jesus, the One who keeps us from stumbling and teaches us the way to life.Pull up a seat, open your Bible, and let's walk through Proverbs 2 together—discovering a wisdom that truly changes everything.

In today's homily, Fr. Matt offers a sobering reminder: a nation cannot survive spiritually if its people abandon truth. As Catholics, we are called not only to believe the faith, but to study it, to guard it, and to allow it to shape our daily lives. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of Truth” (John 14:17), and when we invite Him into our hearts, He strengthens us to love what is good, reject what is false, and persevere through every trial. This is why the Catechism says that life in Christ transforms the whole of our existence (CCC 1691).Fr. Matt reminds us that a country's spiritual health depends on the conversion of its people. We must let the Holy Spirit place divine truth on our hearts—not as an idea, but as a lived reality. St. Paul wrote, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom 12:2). A renewed mind becomes a renewed family, a renewed Church, and a renewed nation.We are called to pray deeply for our country, not in despair, but with hope rooted in Divine Mercy. In moments of darkness, the Lord asks us to return to His Heart, where truth and mercy are never separated.

Ephesians 1:1-3 The Blessed Life in Christ by Upcountry Calvary

In Galatians 3, Paul talks about the purpose of the law in relation to our life in Christ. Randy Bohlender teaches through this passage in part 3 of our series on Galatians.

Sometimes our doubts feel like a monster hiding in the dark - awkward, intimidating, and bigger than it really is. We try to ignore it or hide it, afraid that admitting our questions might make us seem faithless. But the real danger isn't doubt itself; it's keeping it in the dark. In The Shadow of Doubt, we'll bring that “monster” into the light and discover that it's not so scary after all. We will see, biblically, that God isn't threatened by our questions - He meets us in them. Through this series, we'll give practical tools for wrestling with doubt and strengthening faith. -At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:45am, either in person or online!

EVERYBODY was sure SOMEBODY would do it. ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it. EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY could do it, but NOBODY realized EVERYBODY wouldn't do it. In the end, EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY, when NOBODY did what ANYBODY could have done. Untimely, as a disciple of Jesus, if we're going to represent Jesus, be an expression of Him, we can't assume someone else will be the one to do it.

Growing in holiness means allowing God to transform us from the inside out, becoming more like Him in our daily lives. True holiness involves being morally pure, spiritually whole, and set apart for God's purposes. Based on Ephesians 4:21-24, there are four essential steps: learning the truth about Jesus, putting off our old sinful nature, letting the Spirit renew our minds, and living out our new life in Christ. To avoid hypocrisy, we must practice what we teach, be authentic rather than putting on masks, focus on heart transformation over titles, avoid self-promotion, and allow God to clean us from the inside out.

And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.” — Romans 8 : 9Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper.At 12 P.M., as the world moves fast, Romans 8 : 9 calls us back to the quiet strength of the Spirit. We belong not to fear, but to freedom in Christ. Across South Africa, Sweden, the United States and India, believers are rediscovering life in the Spirit. The same Spirit that raised Jesus lives in every follower today. Sin cannot rule where the Spirit reigns; guilt cannot stand where grace abides. This hour we rise to live as those who are truly free in Jesus.Paragraph 1 – Context Paul reminds the Church that life in Christ is not powered by human effort but by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit makes us alive, breaks the hold of sin, and restores identity. We no longer live as slaves to fear but as sons and daughters of God.Paragraph 2 – Reflection To live “in the Spirit” means daily surrender — letting Christ shape our thinking, actions and desires. Freedom is not rebellion but restoration: being exactly who God created us to be. When we walk by the Spirit, peace replaces striving and joy replaces shame.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for South Africa, Sweden, the United States and India.

In chapter 3 Paul begins to call out the “Jesus and…” believers in Philippi and he cautions us against self-sufficiency as he calls us to lay down the things of this world.

Imagine being set free, TRULY free, from condemnation?Imagine being set free from all sin - sin in our past, in our present, in our future?We don't have to imagine it, because that is PRECISELY the truth of a believer's life in Christ. We are set free from guilt and shame, set free to "go and sin no more" (John 8:11).Today, I begin a brand new series in the most significant passage of Scripture, Romans Chapter 8, where we read, "There is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."Join me as we being this incredible new journey in this remarkable passage of Scripture!(RAR2025EP47)

Friday, 14 November 2025   And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. Matthew 14:11   “And his head, it was carried upon a platter, and it was given to the damsel, and she carried to her mother” (CG).   In the previous verse, it was noted that Herod sent and he beheaded John in prison. It next says, “And his head, it was borne upon a platter.”   The word pheró, to bear, is introduced here. HELPS Word Studies says, “properly, to bear, carry (bring) along, especially temporarily or to a definite (prescribed) conclusion (defined by the individual context).”   Once John was beheaded, it was placed upon a platter, being carried to its now rightful owner according to the oath made by Herod. It next says, “and it was given to the damsel.”   Something new concerning Herodias' daughter is seen here. She is called a damsel, a little girl. It explains why she went to her mother (as recorded in Mark) to determine what she should ask for when the oath and offer were extended to her by Herod.   From the prison where John was beheaded, it was borne by an attendant and taken to Herodias' daughter. She was the one who had pleased Herod in the dance and to whom the promise was made. Therefore, the burden of carrying it to its final destination was accomplished by her. As it says, “and she bore to her mother.”   Nothing beyond this is recorded concerning what happened to the head. Some extra-biblical comments about it have been made, but the Bible itself is silent on the matter.   Life application: In the story of the life of King David, the account of David encountering Goliath on the battlefield is recorded. There it says –   “So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.” 1 Samuel 17:48-51   A bit later, it says, “And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent” (1 Samuel 17:54).   To understand the significance of what occurred in that account, sermons from the Superior Word detail the events and their typological significance in detail. One thing that can be deduced about the beheading of John is connected to that account concerning Goliath.   Everything about the law is associated with death. God gave Adam a law in the Garden of Eden. Adam violated that law, and it brought about his death (Genesis 2:17), and it also brought about death in humanity (Romans 5:12). Even Jesus, who was under the Law of Moses, died in fulfillment of it. It was a necessary death for grace to be bestowed.   John the Immerser was the final prophet under the law. He was the herald of the coming of Christ. As such, he was destined to die as an example of the law's power of death over life. Only in coming to Christ's completed work is the matter reversed, and life, meaning life in Christ, prevails over death.   As terrible as the account concerning John the Baptist is, we are being instructed in the difference set forth between Adam's failure and Christ's victory. This includes the death of John, who proclaimed law to the world.   The law had to come to an end for grace to be bestowed. John is the one who brought it to that point. Jesus is the One who then acted, completing the task and offering something far more glorious to the people of the world. Let us never forget the lesson of law vs. grace. Hold fast to the grace of God as it is revealed in the Person and work of Jesus Christ, our Lord.   Lord God, in the end, it is all about what You are doing in Christ Jesus for the people of the world. Help us to remember this and to hold fast to this truth. We don't need more law! What we need is grace. Thank You for the grace offered through His completed work. Amen.

In this episode of The Becket Cook Show, Becket sits down with Vlad, a young man who was convinced he was born gay and lived that identity for years—secretly, painfully, and hopelessly. Growing up in rural Romania with a nominal faith, Vlad slowly fell into pornography, hookup culture, and deep isolation. His life spiraled in Germany where depression and addiction took over, even while he still called himself a “Christian.” But then something unexpected happened. A testimony on this very channel interrupted everything. That video led to real Bible study, real confession, real community, and ultimately—a real encounter with Jesus Christ. Vlad moved to London, walked into a global Christian gathering, and there, surrounded by believers, he finally understood the cross. He chose repentance, baptism, and a new life in Christ. Since that moment, everything is different. Temptations still exist, but he is no longer alone, no longer hopeless, and no longer defined by his past. This is a story about identity, deception, love, spiritual warfare, and the power of God to rescue anyone. Share this with someone who needs hope.

Sometimes our doubts feel like a monster hiding in the dark - awkward, intimidating, and bigger than it really is. We try to ignore it or hide it, afraid that admitting our questions might make us seem faithless. But the real danger isn't doubt itself; it's keeping it in the dark. In The Shadow of Doubt, we'll bring that “monster” into the light and discover that it's not so scary after all. We will see, biblically, that God isn't threatened by our questions - He meets us in them.

Here's one of our big take homes, In order for God to RESTORE His land, His HOUSE had to be in order.

In this lecture, we explore a passage from Colossians 2:8 to Colossians 3:4, which serves as a vital reminder to Christians about their identities as followers of Christ. The speaker urges the audience to not be swayed by human philosophies and traditions that can lead individuals away from the core teachings of Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that in Christ lies the fullness of God, establishing that believers are complete through their connection with Him. This theological foundation sets the stage for a deeper understanding of spiritual identity and transformation.The speaker weaves in an analogy using the character Aragorn from "The Lord of the Rings," drawing parallels between Aragorn's hidden identity as king and the hidden identity of believers in Christ. Just as Aragorn ultimately embraces his true identity, the speaker encourages listeners to recognize and embrace their own identities as children of God. This transition into recognizing one's identity is essential for living authentically within the teachings of Christianity. The lecture further explains the transformative experience that baptism represents, which is not merely an outward ritual but a profound internal change that signifies being made alive in Christ.As the lecture progresses, the importance of rejecting false teachings and legalism becomes a focal point. The speaker discusses how early Christians in Colossae faced pressure to adhere to additional, unnecessary practices to attain spiritual depth, which detracted from the sufficiency of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that true transformation comes through a relationship with Christ, rather than through human efforts or adherence to specific regulations. The notion of spiritual resurrection is unpacked, indicating that believers have already begun to experience a new life in Christ that transcends worldly expectations and limitations.The exploration of “setting one's sights on the realities of heaven,” as articulated by Paul, emphasizes a shift in mindset. The lecture prompts listeners to contemplate what it means to center their thoughts and desires on heavenly things rather than earthly habits rooted in sin and self-indulgence. The speaker clarifies that this does not mean neglecting the world around them but rather transforming how they engage with it. An integral part of this transformation is understanding the role of self-denial as a means to redirect focus toward the divine rather than personal gain.The concept of glory is revisited towards the end of the session, portraying the ultimate assurance believers have in sharing in the glory of Christ. This hope serves as both a comfort and a catalyst for how they live their lives in the present. By highlighting the tension between current struggles and future promises, the speaker invites the audience to reflect on their aspirations and motivations, encouraging them to view their hidden life in Christ as one that will eventually be revealed in completeness. Overall, this lecture provides a thorough and insightful discourse that aims to empower Christians to fully embrace their identities as children of God, navigate their spiritual journey, and align their lives with Christ's character and purpose.

St. Luke 8: 41-56 Drawing on St. Nikolai Velimirović's image of divine grace as electricity, this homily on the raising of Jairus' daughter (Luke 8:41–56) invites us to become  living conduits through whom God's uncreated energy continually flows. Christ's tender command, "Talitha koum," reveals the greater reality that in Him even death is but sleep, for the fire of His love transforms all who see with eyes full of light into partakers of His eternal life. Homily on Jairus' Daughter  St. Luke 8:41–56 Glory to Jesus Christ! It is a blessing to be with you this morning. I have really appreciated your hospitality throughout this weekend. In his homily on this beautiful event in the history of our salvation, St Nikolai Velimirović compares our Lord to electricity—or perhaps to magnetism, and to light. What he is describing is what we in the West call grace. The idea is that the Lord's uncreated energy – His spiritual electricity - is continually available; and those who allow themselves to be connected to Him become receptacles and conduits of that spiritual electricity—of that grace, of that beautiful light.  We see this especially at Pascha, when the priest sings "Come receive the light," and one candle lights another, and the flame spreads from person to person. Magnetism is a similar image: not only does it attract, but it also bestows magnetism in a lesser degree to some of the objects it touches. This a lovely and apt metaphor—though, as St Nikolai warns, don't take it too far or you'll end up spouting heresy– for instance, a screwdriver that has received magnetism from a magnetic source retains the magnetism even after the source is removed.  As we discussed yesterday, anything that is removed from the Source of Divine Energy loses its spiritual life.  Going back to the metaphor of electricity, our hope is not to become a sort of battery that receives grace and then stores it separate from its source; rather, our hope is to increasingly become pure conduits of divine energy through whom it continually flows.  Switching metaphors again, Jesus Christ describes this as living water in the Gospel according to St. John when He says; If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (St. John 7:37; also St. John 4:14) The grace that we share as Christians is flowing to and through us from its source, and that source is God. There is another lesson here.  St. Nikolai points out that there were many people in the crowd that day, but only one was healed. Let me develop a point from yesterday's talk.  You may remember my sharing that the scripture about the newly healed blind man seeing "trees walking" as a metaphor for our need to work on seeing the world as it really is.      A related scriptural metaphor from Christ Himself has to do with the "eye of darkness;"    "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" (St. Matthew 6:22-23). In part, these are eyes that fail to see the Lord even when He is present among us. Imagine that He turned to you and healed you after you had endured fourteen years of suffering. How would you respond? Lord willing, you would respond with thanksgiving and joy; a thanksgiving and joy that never fades. But the eye of darkness might quickly slip from thankfulness and joy back into bitterness and think or say: "Where have you been these fourteen years?" Do you see the trap? Do you see how such a response, such an attitude, misses the whole point of God's work among us — it's kind of like saying to Christ the God-man when He appears in His glory to bring us into His Kingdom; "O Lord, I thought you'd be taller." The eye of darkness is a terrible thing. For those who see truly, the world is permeated with the grace of God.  Let us strive increasingly to the world with these eyes of light. Another lesson the Fathers draw from this story is that the healing itself wasn't even the main point. Do you remember the plot line we are following in the Gospel lesson? A ruler of the synagogue—a leader of the Jews—comes to Christ and begs: "My daughter lies dying. Please come to our house." As the Lord goes with him, the crowd presses in around Him. And even along the way, miracles happen. This is a lesson we need to learn: with the Lord, there is no such thing as "along the way." His grace is always active. Every moment with Him is transformed in Him and by Him.  For the Christian, every moment of grace is an experience of eternal glory… and that moments lead in time to the next which is similarly transformed and transformative. For the Christian, after such an encounter, there is no darkness left to return to, only life in Christ so full that we can say with St Paul, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." (Galatians 2:20)  When we are connected to Him in this way, His grace—like living water, or electricity, or magnetism, or light—flows through us and straightening our connections with the world around us. This is what St Seraphim of Sarov meant when he said, "Acquire the Holy Spirit, and thousands around you will be saved."   And this is the same things that we celebrate in the life of St. Nektarios, whose memory we celebrate today, when we proclaim this verse at Orthros: "Since thou drunkest the nectar of life eternal, thou gushest, O Nektarios, streams of healings. Again, there is no such thing as being merely "on the way"; rather, all of life is "along the Way"—in Christ, growing in Him forever.  Every moment is an opportunity to grow and share in this, the great Mystery of the Sacrament of our salvation. Now, about this man—Jairus. Jairus had great power in his community and a relationship with God through the Law. Yet here he found himself powerless in the face of death. Everyone who tries to find salvation through secular power or the Law alone eventually meets that same limit. At that time, the Jews were deeply divided over what death meant and whether there was truly a resurrection. So this became a teaching moment for the Lord. The other Gospels describe how the mourners had gathered, the flutes were playing lamentations, and the house was filled with grief. A twelve-year-old girl—the only child of a leader in the community—had died. And Jairus, for all his authority, was utterly powerless. To make the moment even more striking, Jesus said something that caused the people to laugh Him to scorn: "She is not dead, but sleeping."  He said this precisely so that they would affirm—beyond any doubt—that she was truly dead: the body cold, the breath gone. And then, having confirmed the reality of death, He revealed the greater reality of life. He went in, took her by the hand with such tenderness; this pointed out most clearly in the version shared by St. Mark, in which he is recorded as having said in Aramaic, "Talitha koum"—literally, "Little lamb, arise." (Mark 5:41) "Talitha" is a term of affection, something like "little lambkin." And she arose and He told her parents to give her something to eat. All those who had mocked Him now faced undeniable evidence of a miracle. They could not rationalize it away or pretend they were mistaken. They had declared her dead—and now she was alive. There was only one explanation: the life-giving power of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him is life, and in Him there can be no death. (John 1:4; John 11:25) Now, here is a more difficult lesson.  Some steak for us to chew on.  Jesus did not spend His earthly ministry going to every grieving parent to restore every child. I'm sure that's hard for you to hear—it's hard for me, too. But He did not come simply to prolong life in this world; He came to transfigure it. What good would it be to restore someone to this mortal life, only for them to die again after a few years? Instead, He performed this miracle so that we would know that when He says, "I go to prepare a [better] place for you," that He has the power to fulfill that promise. (John 14:2-3) There will be times—there have already been times—when we are the ones saying, "She is dead." But the Church uses a different language: "fallen asleep" and "in blessed repose." These are not naive phrases. They are reminders that for the Christian, death is but a rest before the age to come. (1 Thessalonians 4:13–14) And honestly, we long for that age, don't we? Life in this world can be exhausting —wars, suffering, the loss of children, — all the griefs that weigh us down. But as we sing in our funeral service; in the age to come, there will be "no sighing, no sorrow, no sickness, but life everlasting"  This is the time, quoting both the funeral and Revelation, "God will wipe away every tear." If I may change metaphors one last time: our God, who was earlier described as electricity, is also called a consuming fire. (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29) Those of us raised in the South have heard preachers use that image as a warning. But for the Christian—for the ones who live in Christ so completely that it is no longer they who live but Christ who lives in them (Galatians 2:20)—that fire is not torment but glory. It is the radiant warmth of divine love. For those purified by grace, the fire of God becomes the very source of joy and life. So when you find yourself saying, "Our beloved, our little lamb, is dead," remember this: our Lord, who loves our beloved even more than we do, holds her hand and says, just as He did in today's Gospel, "My dearest one, arise." That is the future that awaits all who have given their lives to Him. May we be strengthened by this as we grow in Him. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Bible says much about what it means to be going to heaven, but is also talks about what it means to be living like we're heading towards Hell. Today, as we work through 1st Corinthians 6, we'll find that Paul gives several instructions for life in Christ, but he also gives some characteristics of those who do not have life in Christ.

Dr. Daniel Ragusa speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025.  Dr. Ragusa, focuses on the dark period of Israel's exile and how it illuminates the deep human longing to return to God's presence, which had been lost due to their rebellion. Dr. Ragusa first establishes the devastating nature of exile by contrasting it with the desired state of dwelling in God's house, a theme illustrated by the pilgrimage described in Psalm 23. He references the Heidelberg Catechism to frame the Christian experience as moving from the "valley of exile" (sin and misery) up to the "mountain of God" (righteousness and everlasting life) through the work of the "mountain ascending mediator," Jesus Christ. Crucially, even in the midst of the exile's darkness, God's hope continues to shine through the prophets, promising restoration, which is ultimately fulfilled in the gospel and glory of Jesus Christ.

Paul's closing charge is often misunderstood. In this passage, “examine yourself” is not a call to anxious introspection but a corrective to a church testing Paul while overlooking the evidence of Christ at work among them. Paul redirects attention from his credentials to their shared life in Christ, using his authority to build them up and aiming for restoration, unity, and peace.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!It's Baptism Sunday—a joyful celebration of new life in Christ! Pastor Billy Waters continues the Deuteronomy series, focusing on what it means to live a consecrated life before God. Drawing from Deuteronomy 14, he explores how God calls His people to be set apart—holy, devoted, and distinct from the world around them.Through a story about discovering a hidden banquet, Pastor Billy illustrates how often we settle for less when God offers us something far greater. Consecration, he said, is not about restriction but about relationship and renewal—turning away from the world's false promises to feast on the riches of God's grace.

How would life change if we truly grasped that our old self isn't being renovated but has been completely replaced? Hello friends, welcome to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. This week, we're concluding our series by exploring the radical truth that God isn't working on our old nature—He crucified it. Graham reveals how our new identity in Christ comes with a new lens, a new mindset, and a new language that elevates us to live above the line of our privilege. Let's jump in with Graham.Key Scriptures+ Romans 6:6-8. "Knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him... Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him..."+ 2 Corinthians 5:17. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new..."+ Colossians 3:1-3. "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God..."+ Ephesians 2:6. "And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus..."**Want to explore more?**

Today’s Bible Verse:"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires." — Ephesians 4:22 Ephesians 4:22 challenges believers to actively leave behind their old ways and the patterns that no longer align with God’s truth. Transformation is not passive—it requires conscious effort to reject sinful habits and embrace a new life in Christ. “Want to listen without ads?
