  1. On the Journey with Jesus

  2. Romans 12:1-2 I urge youtherefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

  3. 1 Corinthians 4:14-16 I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 16 I urge you, then…be imitators of me.

  4. 1 Thessalonians 4:12 Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge youin the Lord Jesus…to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

  5. 1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I urge youas sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul…

  6. The Christian Life

  7. Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge youto walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called….

  8. Revelation 19:6-9 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.) Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'" And he added, "These are the true words of God."

  9. Our old pattern of Living will no longer do, VV 17-19

Led to loose living, a covetous heart, and a clogged Conscience, 19 3. Was alienated from the life of God- “non participating”, 18b

  12. Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

  13. Philippians 4:9 Whatever you have learnedor received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
