Your Weekly E-blast from Torrey Pines Church: Essence Series Part 3 from The Torrey Pines Church of The Eastlake Church in La Jolla, California, United States for Friday, 30 September 2016
Sunday, October 2, 2016ESSENCE SERIES WEEK 3
When you describe someone’s “essence,” you aren’t just detailing whether they like rolled tacos or carne asada fries better. You are drilling down to the core of who they are and what they stand for. In the same way, following Jesus isn’t about a style of music, a special language or knowing a specific ritual. The essence of following Jesus is about our identity, our new life in him, his presence within us and his purpose for our lives.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.[Colossians 3:1-11 (NIV)]
