Becoming

True and Noble

February 4, 2018

Please turn in your Bibles to Philippians 4:4-9

Becoming: What would you like to Become?

Becoming: as opposed to Unbecoming

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9 (NIV)

Overriding App: What you feed your mind is directly proportional to the level of peace you enjoy

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will

guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

V 8: Not “finally” as much as finale

The Promise: the God of all peace Himself will be with you

The Condition: “Think on these things”

Final Applications: Think on these things…

1: Feed your mind on Truth

“Sanctify them by the Truth; your Word is Truth.” John 17:17

Question: What will you do this year in order to be intentional about feeding your mind on God’s Word?

2: Feed your mind on that which is honest

Question: What will you do this year in order to be intentional about feeding your mind on that which God says most pleases Him?

What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
