SERVICE SUNDAY AT 10:00 AM WITH CHILDREN’S CHURCH. I WILL PREACH MY FIRST SERMON ABOUT WHAT GOD REINFORCED IN MY LIFE DURING MY BRUSH WITH DEATH. PLEASE DON’T MISS IT. WEAR 2 MASKS IF YOU HAVE TOO!! LOL
Mae and I can’t begin to thank you for the love you showed us Sunday. You are incredible. Your love was better than any medicine they gave me in the hospital. Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing us the privilege to be your pastor(s) for 50 years.
Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Romans 6:11, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Christ is our relationship with all things–both positive and negative.
On the positive side, Christ is our relationship with the Father.
He is also our relationship with all the saints, the members of His Body.
On the negative side, Christ is our relationship with sin, the self, the flesh, the world, condemnation, the devil, and the law.
So we must ask ourselves, How are we related to sin?
How are we related to our flesh?
How are we related to the world?
Often we have tried to live the Christian life with ourselves as the source.
But we must see that we have no life in ourselves apart from Christ (John 6:53).
Our life is wholly wrapped up with Him.
Our true life has been hidden with Christ in God.
“Christ who is our life” in Colossians 3:4 means that we died to sin in Him.
We died to the flesh in Him.
We died to the world in Him.
We defeated the devil in Him.
And we died to the law in Him.
Praise the Lord!
Our relationship with all these realms is Christ.
Even in our encounters with sins, we need to be a person who reacts exclusively with the blood of Jesus (Heb. 10:17-19).
Concerning our sin nature, we need to interact with what happened on the cross.
Christ died to sin, and in Him we reckon ourselves to be dead indeed to sin.
We are alive to God in Him (Rom. 6:8-11).
When we are oriented to these facts, our partaking of Christ and our participation in Him become so rich and full.
He supplies to us the victory.
The victory over sin and death is just Himself.
We do not strive to win the victory.
We receive and participate in His victory!
Until Tomorrow
With a Shepherd’s Love
