Recreate Church, Pastor Michael Shockley—Service, Sunday, January 21, 2024

Not Who I Used to Be Today, Pastor Michael is talking about how new life in Jesus is truly new.  The old person creeps in occasionally, though!  The big idea for this series is that the old man has no place in the new life.  In Ephesians, Paul is talking to people in Ephesus and warning them that now that they know Jesus, they can’t go back and live how they used to live.  We live in tension between the new life and the old life; it’s human nature.  But if you have Jesus in your life, you’re not who you used to be (CSB Bible Notes) The Ephesians passage contrasts a person’s former lifestyle and the new life in Christ. Verses can be found in Ephesians 4: 19. Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers. Used by permission.
