Your Mindset is Key

Passage: Romans 8:5-8

Speaker: Steven Cooper

Series: Living in God's Presence

Category: Sermon

Message Summary:  The first key to living in God’s presence is your Mindset. Literally it’s what you set your mind on, what you think about, what you mentally consume, what you pay attention to.

 

Discussion Questions:

  1. What does it mean to set your mind on the things of the flesh? Why is it helpful to identify these things as 1. Immoral behavior and lusts, 2. Ways that the Present Evil Age operates, 3. Moral behavior without Jesus.
  2. What does it mean to set your mind on the things of the Spirit? What does that look like practically for you?
  3. What does it mean to “run to Jesus in the gospel”?
  4. Why do we need people in our lives that both accept us AND challenge us?

 

VERSES: 

Romans 8:5-8

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.  6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.  8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

 

Romans 12:2   Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
