You cannot call yourself a Christian if you are living in contrast to how Jesus lived and taught. How we think influences much of how we live. When we change the way we think, we’ll most likely change the way we live.



To live a transformed life, we must have a transformed mind that is surrendered to Jesus, submitted to the Holy Spirit, saturated by God’s Word, which serves God’s purpose. How?


Surrender. Surrender to Jesus’s Lordship daily by offering your life to him.
Submit. Submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Saturate. Saturate your mind with instructions from God’s Word and God’s presence.
Serve. Serve God by obeying His instructions for all of life.

The Holy Spirit empowers us to live a life that glorifies God. The Spirit that raised Jesus to life is the same Spirit that's living in us.



How do we live in the Spirit?


Having a mindset guided by the Holy Spirit
Putting to death old, sinful habits
Affirming identity as a child of God

What we believe determines where we belong which affects how we behave.



When we believe in the Good News about Jesus, we will belong to God which will affect how we behave. Our belief in God brings us in a right relationship with God which affects our behavior.


What are you believing in that will save you?

Because JESUS lives, HOPE is alive.


How to find hope in hopelessness:


Look for JESUS in hopeless situations.
Remember the words of JESUS that bring hope.
Seek to experience the life in JESUS personally.

Those who welcome Jesus as King must also learn to trust Him with their future.



He is meek and gentle... and He cares deeply for you.
He is mighty and fearless... to stand against the evil one.
He is merciful... and will reach out and help you today.

True devotion to Christ involves sacrificial love, authentic living, and prioritizing Him above everything else.


When we are truly devoted to Christ, it not only becomes a sweet aroma to God, but it leaves a lasting fragrance to the people around us.
