Message Notes

Renew – to make or become new, fresh, or strong again.

  • Spiritual renewal occurs when the church is how God intends it to be.

I) Why Have We Been in Spiritual Decline?

1) Theological Compromise (2 Timothy 4:2-4)

2) Moral Compromise

3) Leadership Compromise

4) Mission Compromise

II) What is the Answer to this Spiritual Decline?

  • A Renewed Pursuit of Holiness.

1) Holiness is positional. (Ephesians 1:4, Hebrews 10:14)

2) Holiness is behavioral. (1 Peter 1:14-16, John 15:14, Hebrews 12:14)

  • Holiness is the key to friendship, relational intimacy, and closeness with the Lord.

III) How Do We Pursue Holiness?

  • Three key components to pursuing holiness.

1) Pursue holiness from your identity as a holy child of God.

2) Pursue holiness from the power of the Holy Spirit in your life.

3) Pursue holiness from a choice to consecrate yourself to the Lord. (Joshua 3:5)

  • Consecration – to set yourself apart for a sacred purpose.

Why Should We Consecrate Ourselves?

  • We are consecrating ourselves to a person.

  • We are consecrating ourselves for a purpose. (2 Timothy 2:20-21, Isaiah 6:1-8)
