Open Door Ministries Unbroken Fellowship Full sermon at opendoorministries.net
Where are you headed? Exodus 20:2 “I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me. Romans 6:6 We know that our old self [our human nature without the Holy Spirit] was nailed to the cross with Christ, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin. 7 For the person who has died with Christ has been freed from the power of sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe we will also live together with Him, 9 because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin ending its power and paying the sinner’s debt once and for all; and the life that He lives, He lives to glorify God in unbroken fellowship with Him. 11 Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin and your relationship to it +broken, but alive to God in unbroken fellowship with Him in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts and passions. 13 Do not go on offering members of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness. But offer yourselves to God in a decisive act as those alive [raised] from the dead to a new life, and your members [all your abilities—sanctified, set apart] as instruments of righteousness yielded to God. 14 For sin will no longer be a master over you, since you are not under Law as slaves, but under unmerited grace as recipients of God’s favor and mercy. 1 God offers freedom through service and honor given to Him only 2 Distractions in worship lead to idols of the heart – our focus must be on God 3 We are free from sin not to sin – the decisions are left up to us and consequences follow 4 If we continue in sin we grieve and quench the Holy Spirit and begin to die spiritually 5 We are dead to sin and alive in Christ if we surrender, submit and seek him continually 6 We can choose sin, or we can choose Christ, but we can’t have both 7 Whatever masters us owns us – our bodies and minds should be instruments of God Sunday Services are @ 11 a.m. in Bartow Community Center, room 28. Contact Pastor Luis by text, 917-334-4407, or email opendoorministries .net. Blessings in Christ. —Pastor Luis Ramos
