This sermon was preached by Tom O’Toole at the Ladybarn site of Christ Church Manchester on Sunday 9th January 2022.
BIBLE VERSES
This sermon was based on Romans 8:2-4.
Life in the Spirit
2For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
KEY POINTS
Walk By the Spirit
- At times the Christian life can feel like a cycle of trying and failing, but there is power available for something different.
- This power comes as we walk by the Spirit.
Listen to the Spirit
- It is important that we hear the leading of the Spirit.
- Asking him to speak, taking time each day to listen and clearing our lives of the background noise are helpful practices in this.
Rely on the Spirit
- Walking by the Spirit involves relying on him in everything we do.
- This can be a challenge for us who are used to trusting in our own abilities and resources.
Obey the Spirit
- As we hear the Spirit lead, we need to follow what he tells us!
