Life Changing

HOW DO YOU HIT THE RESET BUTTON ON YOUR LIFE?

Reset is possible because in Christ you have a new STARTING POINT.

Reset requires a rhythm of consistently setting your mind on THINGS ABOVE.

Reset means doing whatever is necessary to cut out DESTRUCTIVE HABITS.

How do you experience life change that actually changes your life?

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:12-17

Reset is cultivated in the refining context of CHRIST-CENTERED COMMUNITY. 

How do you cultivate deep, meaningful, soul-shaping relationships?

• Put on the appropriate ATTIRE. 

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves..

3 Temptation We Define Ourselves By:
1. What I have – Possessions
2. What I have done – Performance
3. What others think of me – Approval  

What is the proper attire?

Compassion – empathy in action, an emotional response with a physical act.

Kindness – the quality of being helpful or beneficial, a sweet disposition.

Humility – having an accurate view of oneself, having a servant’s heart

Gentleness – strength under control, having consideration for others.

Patience – the ability to endure and have a good attitude in the process.

Forgiveness – letting go one’s right for revenge, not holding a grudge.

Love – doing what is best for another person, sacrificial, self-giving.

• Let Jesus be the UMPIRE. 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

• Be at home in the GOSPEL.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

• Whatever you DO…

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
