Christ's death is not just a substitute for our death, His life is a substitute for our lives. Christ's obedience to the Father becomes our obedience to the Father; Christ's trust in the Father becomes our trust in the Father; Christ's yieldedness to the Holy Spirit becomes our yieldedness to the Holy Spirit. When I claim Christ as my substitute life it leads to such security and it so takes the performance pressure off in which we are at such peace that we can cultivate a desire for holiness.
The work of the ministry is to build up the body so that we might attain the maturity that is demonstrated by unity. We are mature as a local church to the degree we are in unity.

Your new nature will have a powerful urge to minister to others in the Body of Christ.

It's not so much about finding my gift, it's about showing Jesus to the world by being rightly fitted together as His body.
Because we are 'in Christ' warfare looks like standing in the authority of Christ. The battle over satan was won at the cross. So we are not battling with satan we are simply standing in the finished work of what Christ has accomplished and resisting him.
To sow to the Spirit is to release yourself from the pressure of achieving outcomes. Releasing yourself from the pressure of getting answers or trying to change your heart yourself. In the midst of hard emotions you can sow to the Spirit by sowing scripture into your emotions. It's not about you, it's just a life surrendered to the Spirit.
The heart of a martyr is simply one who wants Jesus in every part of their life and wants to reflect His beauty. In this sermon, Steve Fry will unpack thoughts about the tribulation as it pertains to believers and living a life of true prayer and worship.
