Presentation transcript:

To be a loyal and obedient follower of our master, the Lord Jesus Christ, and to come into our full destiny, we must continually:

Submit to the Word Embrace the Cross Keep in step with the Spirit

2 Timothy 3:15-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Submit to the Word Embrace the Cross of Christ

"Jesus came to pay a debt He didn't owe because we owed a debt we couldn't pay.” “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ” Romans 5:8

1. The Fact of the Cross The Cross is a Paradox: a picture of violence, yet the key to peace of suffering, yet the key to healing of death, yet the key to life of utter weakness, yet the key to power of capital punishment, key to mercy, forgiveness of vicious hatred, yet the key to love of supreme shame, yet the Christian's supreme boast

1. The Fact of the Cross the apostle Paul declared: "May I never boast except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Galatians 6:14

1. The Fact of the Cross " The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 "For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2

1. The Fact of the Cross "God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins... nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." Colossians 2:13-15

2. Fellowship of the Cross

"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death..." Philippians 3:10

2. Fellowship of the Cross "Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." Matthew 16:24-25

2. Fellowship of the Cross (The Cost of following Jesus) "As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' Jesus replied, ' Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.' He said to another man, 'Follow me.' But the man replied, 'Lord, first let me go and..'" Luke 9:57-62

2. Fellowship of the Cross "When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die." Dietrich Bonhoffer
