Who Owns It?

Happy Friday, Friends!

I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day begins to dawn in my Sweet Home Alabama!

Last Sunday, our Pastor, Steve Huskey, preached a phenomenal sermon titled, “Own It All.” You can listen to the sermon here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3TYDh25SSvNJ7ns7FEBQqD?go=1&sp_cid=c33515483950b9f293e130fef8aaba9b&utm_source=embed_player_p&utm_medium=desktop&nd=1&dlsi=6ed690e73bd84314

The point is really quite simple; sanctification is the ongoing process where God takes over and transforms every part of our lives. So, who owns:

·       Our attitudes? Negative to faith-filled…where are we on the continuum?

·       The entertainment we listen to and watch? Quantity and quality; in the world, not of it.

·       Our talent? Working as though we are working for the Lord, not man.

·       Our finances? We are only stewards.

·       Our relationships?

·       Our worry?

·       The words we speak?

·       Our time? The most valuable resource we have…does how we use it reflect the faith we profess to have?

And then on Wednesday, I was listening to a message from Pastor Joel Osteen titled, “Who’s The Boss?” You can watch the message and read the transcript here: https://sermons.love/joel-osteen/3397-joel-osteen-whos-the-boss.html

The point of the sermon is this; are we going to be led by the flesh or are we going to be led by the Spirit?

So, other than pointing you to these two great sermons, I simply want to remind us all that we have a choice to make every day…

I want to close with a few scriptures:

Romans 8:6

6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Matthew 16:24

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
