Series Memory Verse: “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27 (p.824)

The way I think (my mindset):

  • Determines how I act.
  • Motivates me.
  • Influences whom or what I choose as sources of knowledge and authority.
  • Affects my view of every experience.
  • Shapes my value system.
  • Dominates my private and public life.

“Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.” Romans 8:5-6 (p.862)

Sinful mind-set:
Death
Hostility toward God
Rebellion      
Resistance to submission
Actions/attitude do not please God		Spiritual mind-set:
Life and peace
Friendship with God
Obedience to the Spirit’s influence
Guidance by The Holy Spirit
Love for God and neighbor (Know and follow Jesus)

“For the sinful nature is always hostile to God…That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)” Romans 8:7-9 (p.862)
