A RENEWED MIND
(Rom 12:2; 1 Cor. 2:16)
Having the mind of Christ means…
- I am keenly aware of God’s presence in my life
- I see me for who I really am
- I realize there is plan and purpose for my life
- I have been called to live my life for HIS glory - I live to please God alone.
- I rely on God’s power rather than my own ability
- I submit to HIS will not mine
- I understand what it means to be a servant (to serve)
- I understand what it mean to be a dispenser of grace
- I learn the power of my words (control my tongue)
- I live my life today with eternity in mind.

Gratitude
1 Thess. 5:16-18
How can we be grateful with everything going on around us?
- Our gratitude depends on who God is.
- Our gratitude depends on what He has done (past).
- Our gratitude depends on what He will do (future).
Why should I be grateful?
- It takes my focus off my situation.
- It does more for me than it does for God.
- It makes me a happier person.
Cultivate a habit of gratitude.
- Make it part of your devotional life.
- Share with others (in terms of witness).
- Express gratitude to others.
- Serve God and others.

The RESURRECTION means EVERYTHING
(Romans 8:31-39)
Because Jesus rose from the dead:
1. NOTHING CAN COME AGAINST US - God is for us (8:31)
2. OUR DEBT IS PAID - my sins are forgiven (8:33)
3. THERE IS NO MORE CONDEMNATION - Guilt & Shame have no power over me (8:34)
4. WE ARE RECIPIENTS OF HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - Nothing can separate us form his love (8:35)
5. WE LIVE VICTORIOUS LIVES - We are more than conquerors (8:37)
6. WE HAVE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE - Eternity with Him (8:23-25)
