“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23, ESV)

31/05/2015 – Morning Service: Spiritual mindedness

Bible Readings:

Psalm 1, Matthew 6:19-24, Romans 8:1-13

Sermon Outline:

Romans 8:5–9 (NKJV)

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

I  What does it mean to be Spiritually minded?

25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

II  The blessedness of being Spiritually minded.

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)

3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Romans 8:6 (NKJV)

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

III How can one become Spiritual minded?
