The Sermon Beautiful This sermon from Jerry Dodson is packed. Get your pen ready to write! He reviews Scripture such as 1 Peter 2:7-12, Colossians 1:13-14, Ephesians 1:3–6, 2 Corinthians 6:15-16, John 17:14- 16, Jeremiah 17:9, first Peter 4:1-5, 1 John 1:9, Romans 8:1, Matthew 5:16, etc. to illustrate this truth: we cannot simultaneously declare God‘s Excellencies and live lives of unrepentant and unforsaken sin. Being part of God’s kingdom means transformation. We are to be children of light and life, living obedient lives which develops the fruit of the Spirit. Sin starts in the heart and manifests in the hands, but we are called to pursue the kingdom, no longer intentionally seeking sin. We are called to be salt and light, to live a life full of obedience to God that the resulting spiritual fruit may be seen by others and draw them to our Father, to live the life beautiful. |
