Rev. Curt Walters

1. Just believe. (Acts 16:31, James 2:19)

2. We must crucify our sinful nature. 

    (Luke 9:23-24, Romans 6:11-14, Galatians 2:20) 

3. Focus on the main things.

    (Galatians 2:1-10, 1 Samuel 16:7)

4. Please God rather than people. 

    (Galatians 2:11-14, Colossians 2:16-17)

5. Follow the Lord’s leading. (Galatians 2:7-21, Acts 20:22-24)

Next steps...

• Read, reflect on and memorize Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
• Is there an aspect of your sinful nature that God is calling you to crucify?  Is there a habit you should change or something that you need to give up? Do you need to ask someone to hold you accountable?
• Surrender your life, time, money and relationships to the Lord.  Invite Him to have His way over every area of your life. Then once you know what He wants you to do, do it!
