Image is powerful. In our society, icons and pixels are flashed in front of us constantly, attempting to persuade and influence us. Whether or we realize it or not, what we pursue and value influence us and our character. In order to build lasting character, we need to find a new blueprint. Check out this talk to learn how we can find a true blueprint to follow for strong character.
Ephesians 4:11-13, Galatians 2:20-21, Luke 22:31-34 & 59-62, Acts 4:12-13
What is Character?
The wisdom and the courage to do what’s right according to GOD’S standard no matter the cost.
JESUS is God’s standard for character.
Ephesians 4:11-13
Character comes from Jesus LIVING in us
Galatians 2:20-21 “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.”
Jesus sees beyond our PRESENT to our FUTURE with His character.
Luke 22:31-34, Luke 22:59-62, Acts 4:12-13
