An Inside-Out Life The First and Last Word Hebrews 1:3 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

An Inside-Out Life A Deeper Righteousness

An Inside-Out Life A Message Embodied 1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

An Inside-Out Life A Message Embodied Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

An Inside-Out Life A Message Embodied Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

An Inside-Out Life A Message Embodied Romans 3:25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. 

Titus 3:5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. 

An Inside-Out Life Living from the Heart

We experience kingdom blessings We enter the kingdom As a humble child, recognizing our need “Poor in spirit” – receiving in faith We experience kingdom blessings As an obedient child, trusting our Father “Hear & do” – walking by faith

Communion

“This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.  This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
