1 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES What s On Your Mind? FEBRUARY 8, 2015

2 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (MSG) 11 Who ever knows what you're thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God except that he not only knows what he's thinking, 12 but he lets us in on

3 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (MSG) it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. 13 We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by

4 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (MSG) reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we're passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way. 14 The

5 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (MSG) unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can't receive the gifts of God's Spirit. There's no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit

6 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (MSG) God's Spirit and our spirits in open communion. 15 Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God's Spirit is doing, and can't be judged by unspiritual critics. 16 Isaiah's

7 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (MSG) question, "Is there anyone around who knows God's Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?" has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ's Spirit.

8 For we have the mind of Christ. - 1 CORINTHIANS 2: 16 (NLT)

9 But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world's spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. - 1 CORINTHIANS 2: (NLT)

10 All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. - JESUS JOHN 14: 25-26

11 God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world's spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. - APOSTLE PAUL 1 CORINTHIANS

12 Sin is forgetfulness of God s goodness. - EVAGRIUS PONTICUS 4TH CENTURY MONK & THEOLOGIAN

13 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. - ROMANS 12: 1-2 (NLT)

14 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit... if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God That s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please - ROMANS 8: 5-17 (NLT)

15 God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you... So, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation whatsoever to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you keep on following it, you will perish. But if through the power of the Holy Spirit you turn from it and its evil - ROMANS 8: 5-17 (NLT)

16 deeds, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves. You should behave instead like God's very own children, adopted into his family calling him Father, dear Father. For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God's children. - ROMANS 8: 5-17 (NLT)

17 MIND OF CHRIST.

18 MIND OF CHRIST REPENTANCE - CONVICTION TO REDEMPTION But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me... - JESUS JOHN 16: 7-9

19 MIND OF CHRIST REMEMBRANCE - DESIRE FOR JESUS WORDS All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. - JESUS JOHN 14: 25-26

20 MIND OF CHRIST REVIVAL - COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR THEM But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. - JESUS ACTS 1: 8

21 God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. - PAUL TO TIMOTHY 2 TIMOTHY 1: 6-8

22 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he... - PROVERBS 23: 7

23 MIND OF CHRIST: GOD IS WORTH LOVING.

24 MIND OF CHRIST: I AM WORTH LOVING.

25 MIND OF CHRIST: OTHERS ARE WORTH LOVING.

26 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus - PHILIPPIANS 2: 1-8 (NKJV)

27 Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. - MATTHEW 22: 37-40
