We have received a Spirit of adoption and we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons. What does it mean, why does it matter, how these two show something powerful about the purpose of God?

Those who are walking according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh. The mind set on the flesh leads to death. Those who are according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit! The mind that is set on the Spirit is life and peace.

Join us this week as Kahu Waxer talks about the differences between the Spirit and the Flesh, described in Romans 8.

The love of God is the crescendo and the conclusion! The greatest treasure in this life is one we can never loose - God’s love. We will be separated from all other types of things; But never from the love of God.

The apostle Paul speaks a lot about “suffering” to the Christian, but it’s never suffering for suffering sake, there is always a context. Peter talks about being tested by the Lord through suffering in 1 Peter 4:12.

God is righteous, so our being in Him is being in righteousness. Him in us is us being made righteous by His cleansing work on the cross, the blood of the Lamb.

If you continually find yourself in a place of frustration, bitterness, anger, or self loathing. Ask yourself what are you setting your mind on?

This is Yahweh Elohim, the God who created the heavens and the earth; They exist because He willed them to, so when He calls they obey. Would that we have that same obedience!

Someone once said, “We can’t take our money with us, but we can send it ahead.” We can use our resources for missions and ministry, to further proclaim and advance the Gospel.

Go through and inspect, admire, adore, the works of God. Look at the church that God has built, the Church as a whole. Consider how many testimonies, stories of victory, deliverance, hope, there are. How many answered prayers and prayers we’re glad God didn’t answer!

Paul has preached the gospel to them but they’ve fallen prey to finding their righteousness in other things. The gospel is the good news of freedom from the law and sin, freedom from earning our righteousness!

Join us on this New Years day as Kahu Waxer shares with us the Theme for this new year Freedom!

As we go through our scriptures we will be highlighting this abundant life that God has designed for His children; To be free from the cares of this world, the opinions of others, the economy, or any other earthly thing.
