The Christ Powered Life

The Law's weakness - our sinful nature.

We have been set free from sin and death.
We have freedom in Christ

How we live out our lives depends upon how we fill our minds. We need to reject the world.

The Flesh breeds hostility with God.

Galatians 5:16 - 25
The fruit of the Spirit

vs 9 - 11

John 11:25

Put to death
Lead b the Spirit
Keep in Step with the Spirit
Walk in the Spirit
Like a dance moving as one with the Spirit

Loved the world
Loved the lost
Loves the Church
