Speaker: Pastor Vince Thomas, Jr.Series: Faith Reconstructed (Part 9)Sermon: Good TroubleFollowing Jesus and living out His values means you're going to get into some "Good Trouble"—like the prophets and early Christians who were persecuted for standing up to the status quo.

To be considered a follower of Christ, there are items that we can agree to disagree on with the interpretation of Scripture such as: Eschatology (End Times), The location of Heaven & Hell, Pneumatology (The Modern Day Activity of Holy Spirit), Gender Roles & Leadership, etc.However, to be a follower of Christ, we CANNOT disagree on the basis that Jesus Christ (and Jesus Christ alone) is the ONLY way to Heaven.Let's fellowship together over God's Word!Pastor Vince Thomas, Jr. - Apologetics 101 Series (Part 1)

To live "A Better Way to Live," we must choose to be led by the Holy Spirit instead of our sinful nature. This spiritual choice is a constant battle, but it gives us access to a life of true purpose, free from the fears that lead to poor decisions. By intentionally aligning our thoughts and actions with God's will, we can live a life of peace and wholeness, empowered by the very Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.

Each moment, we must decide between the sinful nature and the Spirit of God for control of our minds, and our choice to fix our thoughts on God is what gives us access to a life of perfect peace and wholeness. Ultimately, the winning mindset is achieved not through our own effort, but by following the Holy Spirit, which connects us to our true identity as children of God.Sermon Notes - https://theoutletcommunity.com/notes

One of the purposes of Holy Spirit is to reveal our true relationship with and identity to the Father. You are not what you do. You are who you were created to be.
