OCCUPIED TERRITORY

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 2

Mark Lanier continues with his Romans series this week, looking at Romans 8 and the implications of living in the flesh vs living in the spirit.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Today, Mark offers a short review of Romans 8, reminding us that none of us deserve the love and forgiveness of a gracious and perfect God. That’s why we have the greatest verdict in history and we are found not guilty!

He closes with this question to think about before tomorrow’s segment: Are you living self-reliant or are you living God-dependent?

TIME TO CELEBRATE

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 2

Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues with his sermon series entitled NEXT, which is focusing on the life of Nehemiah, who’s bold faith and trust in God led the people to do amazing things for the sake of the Gospel.

This week, Pastor Jarrett explains the purpose of sanctification, or as some people call it purification, using the people of Jerusalem’s obedience to God’s command as one example.

Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 11-13

REVIEW:

Who was Nehemiah? What did God command him to do? Did he obey? How did the king react to Nehemiah’s request? What happened when Nehemiah reached Jerusalem? What did the walls around Jerusalem represent? What was historic about the rebuilding of the walls?

What happened after the people obeyed God’s command?

NOTE: Make plans to listen on Friday of this week to hear the FULL pledge amount from church members for the CFBC 3-year NEXT Initiative Plan.
