Deny Yourself, Pick Up Your Cross... A Practical Step?

Hello,

Welcome to the Simple Not Shallow Podcast, where the coffee is good, and the conversation is even better.

In this episode, we are going to pick up a thought from our last one. Last time, we looked at denying ourselves and taking up our cross to follow Jesus. And how that, too, is based on love.

So, where are we going with this? Well, knowing that it’s all about being in and building a relationship with Jesus, we are going to look at a small step that we can take to give this some practicality in our lives. And worry not – this will be a really simple step, nothing earth-shattering.

Scripture Referenced:

Colossians 3:5 – 9 – what we need to cloth ourselves with.
John 16:13-15 – The Holy Spirit guiding us into all truth.
John 14:17 – 26; Galatians 5:16 – The Holy Spirit teaching and helping us. Helping us live out our relationship with God.
John 16:8 – 11 – The Holy Spirit convicting us of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

Other Interesting passages in light of this:
Matthew 5: 43 – 45; Luke 6:27 – 29 - love your enemies, pray for those who hurt you.
1 Peter 3:9 - do not return evil with evil, but with a true blessing.
Romans 12:24 – Paul saying the same thing as Peter did in 1 Peter 3:9.
Jonh 17: 11, 22 - That we will be one even as Jesus and the Father are one.
