From Graves to Gardens: "Rehearsal to Renewal"

Sermon Notes: Sunday, March 14, 2021 From Graves to Gardens: "Rehearsal to Renewal"   Psalms 4:1-8 NIV <p>1 Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. 2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? 3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him. 4 Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. 5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord. 6 Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity? ”Let the light of your face shine on us. 7 Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound. 8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.</p> Romans 12:2 NIV <p>2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.</p> <p> </p> #1 — The Replacement Principle: “Remove the lies, replace with truth.” #2 — The Rewire Principle: “Rewire your brain, renew your mind.” #3 — The Reframe Principle: “Reframe your mind, restore your perspective.” #4 — The Rejoice Principle: “Revive your soul. Reclaim your life.”   - From Winning The War In Your Mind: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life by Craig Groeschel   Philippians 4:13 NIV <p>13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.</p> Romans 5:6 NIV <p>6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.</p> <p> 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV</p> <p>5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.</p> <p> </p> BLESSING May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God the Father, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit - go with you now and always.
