Friends, thanks for listening today! May Jesus plead on your behalf and teach you this week.
“Question 20 of our Global Methodist Catechism states that one of our core beliefs as Methodists is “we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life.” This strong, optimistic teaching of Jesus advocating for sinners brings up an important point: the greatest chance Christians have for a better life is Christ’s presence. When Paul wrote the Philippians church to “Rejoice always” He was not ignoring their problems, far from it. Paul rejoices because what He now has in the presence of Jesus, is life-changing! “But whatever I gained, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ”-Philippians 3:7-8. Church, it is important you understand this. Christ as our greatest gift, as our advocate, changes lives. Has He changed yours?”
