020418AM Sermon Notes

Canaan:  Christ Through Me
Romans 5:10 

THEME:  For the believer to know that God desires for them to live life in the land flowing with milk and honey

Point To Ponder:  Not only can you not provide your salvation.  but you cannot  provide your sanctification either
The Major Question to Consider:  What is the Canaan Life?  

  1.   Spirit Controlled Living
Point to Ponder:  The life that condemned us now saved us

Key to Victory:  The Christian life is the life that He lived then, is lived now by Him in you

The Problem: The life He lived then you can’t live!   WHY?  because you are not him

STATEMENT OF TRUTH:
You must have what He is (life) to be what He was (perfect)

        II.  Christ Righteousness Not Self-Righteousness
Word of Warning:
Self- righteousness will lead you to think that you are better than others and you will develop the attitude of the  Pharisees.

Remember: Godliness is not the consequence of your capacity to imitate God, but the consequence of His capacity to reproduce Himself in you; not self-righteousness, but Christ righteousness. 

       III.  A Battle To Be Won
Remember:  We are in it to win it

STATEMENT OF TRUTH:
People have uphill hopes and downhill habits

Key to Victory:  Faith!  Unbelief keeps you in defeat

On Your Own
This week study the following passages referenced today:

Romans 3:23; Romans 6:3-6; Romans 6:23; Romans 7:15-25;  Ephesians 2:5 & 3:21;
Galatians 3:3; 2 Corinthians 4:8-10; Philippians 2:12; Ephesians 6; Romans 13:14;
Jude 24-25; Hebrews 3:7-4:3


Questions to Consider:
  1. In what ways are you trying to complete by the flesh what was meant to accomplish in the Spirit?   
  2. In what ways do you see Christ in you?  Are there areas that you need to fully surrender?
  3. What does it mean in your life to die daily?
  4. Are you in dander of developing the attitude of the Pharisees?
  5. To what degree are you willing to surrender?
  6. Can you honestly say that Jesus is Lord of all in your life?
  7. What Habits do you have that pull you downhill?
