March 23, 2025
- Character is formed by our values, attitudes & practices.
Philippians 2:6 Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges…
- The Attitude of Jesus:
John 10:18 (NKJV) No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself.
Matthew 27:50 (NKJV) And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
Matthew 26:38-39 (NIV) …“My soul is overwhelmed… Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
- Living surrendered means living
1 Peter 2:24 (NIV) …“by His wounds you have been healed.”
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
James 3:13-15 If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart…Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.
Genesis 3:6 (NIV) …the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.
What are the lies of Control?
__God is holding out on me (Jealousy)
__I know what’s best (Selfish Ambition)
__I can fix what’s broken (Desire)
James 3:16-18 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
Living surrendered is a life that trusts God’s
