Living In His Presence





This is the 3rd in a series entitled:
Keep In Step

 
 
 
Message 1:
 
 
 
 
Message 2:
 
 
 
 

 
If God is for us, who can be against us?  That is the question asked in Romans 8:31.  It is a great question we should probably ask ourselves every day.
 
If God is for us, who can be against us?
 

Can I just tell ya something?  Our God, the Creator, is the BIGGEST and most POWERFUL being in the entire universe!  AND He is on our side.  And if He is on our side, who could be against us?
 
This is something Israelites needed to learn at the base of a mountain.  And it was during this "learning opportunity" in which God challenged them to make a decision.
 
Did they want Him for their God?
Were they willing to take a risk on Him as their God?

Walk This Way

 
 
This is the 1st in series entitled:
Keep In Step
 
 
 
Message 2:
 
 
 
Message 3:
 

 
 

 
 
"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit"
Galatians 5:25 
 
So.  Just what does it mean to "keep in step with the Spirit"?  The Bible talks a lot about walking.
 
walk in truth
walk in His commandments
walk in the light
walk in wisdom
walk as children in the light
walk by faith
walk in newness of life
and so on...
 
Here in Galatians, we see "keep in step with the Spirit."  It is

 
a reference to how we carry ourselves.  It is what we do and how we do it.  It means going beyond just talking the talk to also walking the walk. 
 
This is about how pray, how we study God's Word, how we spend our time, how we treat God and our relationship with Him, how we treat others, and so on.
 
This phrase, keeping in step, puts a word picture in our minds.  When we picture walking in our minds, we associate it with movement or motivating in a direction.  We imagine starting in one place and ending up in another.  Keeping in step with the Spirit, certainly involves movement.
 
Can I just tell ya something?  Keeping in step with the Spirit is NOT about being content with your current spiritual condition.  And it IS about chasing after something better, something more.
