Things Above
from Christian Spirituality on SermonAudio Hosted by Nicholas Smiley
The sermon exorts believers to direct their attention away from earthly concerns and toward the heavenly realm, grounded in the theological truth of union with Christ. By highlighting that believers are raised with Jesus, the message establishes a foundation for pursuing spiritual realities over worldly distractions like wealth and anxiety. The text contrasts the 'muckraker' who looks only downward with the Christian who sets their mind on the things above, where Christ sits in authority. Practical application is provided through the consistent use of spiritual disciplines, including daily prayer, immersion in Scripture, active participation in the church, and the observance of the Lord's Supper. These means serve to reorient the believer's focus, ensuring that their lives are governed by heavenly priorities rather than the cares of this present age.
