The Gospel: How The Gospel Changes Our Identity

September 27, 2020

  • Larry Sundin
  • The Gospel
  • 1 Peter
  • 2 Corinthians
  • 2 Peter
  • Ephesians
  • Mark
  • Matthew
  • Romans
  • Child of God
  • Christ Follower
  • Disciple
  • Holy Ones
  • Identity in Christ
  • New Creation
  • 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 1:5-6; Mark 1:17

You are not the same person you once were.  You are now different.  God sees you as a holy one, a saint.  You were a sinner. But God made you a saint.  That’s what it means to embrace your new identity in Christ.  To see yourself as God sees you.  Fully alive to Him, set-apart for Him, with unlimited potential to do the works He has prepared for you.

A New Way of Thinking

June 7, 2020

  • Larry Sundin
  • Philippians
  • Mark
  • Philippians
  • Humility
  • Selfish ambition
  • Servant Mindset
  • Vain conceit
  • Philippians 2:3-4

God has given us a different way of thinking, a way that’s not looking out for number one but is looking out for others. It’s a mindset that’s no longer trying to make yourself look good but is more into doing good.  And it’s this kind of mindset that God wants to develop in us.  For it’s the mindset of Jesus.

Matthew: There’s A Place For You In God’s Story

February 11, 2020

  • Larry Sundin
  • Matthew
  • 1 Samuel
  • 2 Chronicles
  • Deuteronomy
  • Galatians
  • Genesis
  • John
  • Mark
  • Matthew
  • a place for you in God's story
  • Fulfillment of the Covenant to Abraham
  • Genealogy of Jesus
  • Son of David
  • Matthew 1:1-17

There is a Place for You in His Story! You see Matthew wrote this genealogy to tell us that anyone can find a place in God’s story. You may be the overlooked runt of the litter, like David; or a three-time loser, like Abraham.  You may have a disgraceful past, like Manasseh; or shameful history like Tamar, Rahab or Bathsheba.  But that’s why God chose Jesus to be the center of His story.  So that we would see that no one is outside the mercy and grace of God that’s found in Jesus.

  • Mark 5:24-34

And a great  crowd followed him and thronged about him. And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus and… Read More »

Rooted In the Spirit, Part 3

April 28, 2019

  • Larry Sundin
  • Rooted
  • Galatians
  • Mark
  • Acts of the Flesh
  • fruit of the Spirit
  • Keeping in Step with the Spirit
  • Walking by the Spirit
  • Galatians 5:16-25

How are we to “keep in step with the Spirit?” The word here refers to movement in a definite line, like in a military formation or in dancing.  In order to move in line in the military you need to submit.  In order to let someone lead you in dancing, you need to surrender, give up control trust the one who is leading you. In other words, God wants you to align your life in line with the Spirit.  And He wants us to do this continually – to make this our new habit for living – our new lifestyle.

Love Does: Love Does Selflessness

January 31, 2019

  • Larry Sundin
  • Love Does
  • 1 Corinthians
  • Ephesians
  • Mark
  • Philippians
  • Romans
  • Love
  • Selfishness
  • servanthood
  • Sin
  • 1 Corinthians 13:5; Romans 7:18; Ephesians 2:1-2; Romans 15:2-3; 1 Corinthians 9:19; Philippians 3:7-8; Mark 10:45; Philippians 3:12-14; Mark 8:34-36

Love does not seek its own, it does not believe that “finding oneself” is the highest good,’ it is not enamored with self-gain, self-justification, self-worth or self-promotion.  You see, someone who is selfless is not looking for personal benefits by loving someone.  Someone who gives selfless love is not looking for applause, affirmation, or anything in return. There are no-strings attached to selfless love. Love does not seek its own good.

  • Larry Sundin
  • Following Jesus
  • James
  • John
  • Mark

  • modeling
  • obeying
  • surrendering
  • Trusting

A follower trusts in Jesus, not just for salvation but for all of life.  A follower follows Jesus, believing He is worth following.  A follower walks with Jesus, believing He is faithful and good. And a follower wants to be with Jesus, because Jesus has the words of life, shows us a new way of life, and is the life our hearts have been longing for.
