In the Likeness of His Resurrection pt. 5: Living by the Spirit of Life

Some people in the modern Church feel that life in the New Covenant frees them from any sort of law or expectation.  While the Scriptures are clear that we are indeed free from the Law of Moses, that does not mean we are not under any sort of law at all.  There are expectations for the New Testament believer under the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ.  This teaching provides some guidelines for New Testament living, most particularly that of learning to be led by the Spirit in every aspect of life.  

In the Likeness of His Resurrection pt. 4: Stopping Worldliness from Stopping You

Many Christians are still worldly and don't even know it.  Many people even deal with past hurts in a worldly way in the hopes of never getting hurt again.  But any form of worldliness never ultimately works out well; it only brings more bondage and pain.  This teaching exposes worldly mindsets that hinder people's progress in overcoming habitual sins, insecurities, emotional baggage, and self-destructive mindsets, providing a solution to the problem of worldliness, and stopping it before it stops you.     

In the Likeness of His Resurrection pt. 3

Did you know that as a child of God you no longer have any past prior to your new life in Christ?  Your sin is forgotten, and the terrible experiences you had in your past do not have to define you or affect you any longer.  But in order to benefit from this new identity, we have to develop a new mindset about who we are based upon what the Word of God says about us.  

In the Likeness of His Resurrection pt. 2

In the previous teaching in this series we talked about how what Jesus has accomplished through redemption has set us totally free from Satan's control and domination.  In this teaching we deal with the question, "If that's true, then why am I still struggling?"  This teaching answers that question with three reasons why people do not fully take advantage of their freedom in Christ and overcome the works of the devil.  

In the Likeness of His Resurrection

Did you know that there is more to our modern understanding of redemption in Christ than most of us have ever imagined?  There are actually 4 different words in the Greek that refer to different aspects of redemption, but all four of those words were translated into English as a single word, redemption, robbing us of some of its Biblical meaning.  This first teaching in a new series is a great way to understand the benefits of Jesus' resurrection, and introduces how broad the concept of redemption actually is.  

Made in the Image of Love

Genesis 1:27 says that we were made in the image and likeness of God. If we were made in the image of God, and God is love, then our attitudes and behaviors should be reflecting the love of God in the world.  This teaching provides a point-by-point word study of 1 Corinthians 13 to help us better understand what the love of God looks like that has been shed abroad in our hearts.

The Overwhelming Force of Love

God is the most powerful force in the universe.  God's nature is that of love.  It follows, then, that when we walk in the love of God, we walk in the power of God.  Learn how love can change everything in this teaching, whereas strife and bitterness can contaminate everything.

Love Covers

Using the example of Noah and his youngest son, Ham, this teaching enlarges upon the Biblical standard of how God's version of love does not broadcast the sins of others.  

A HEART AT PEACE: Caring for Your Temple pt. 3
