Life in Christ - by Solly Kganyago

Sermon recap:
What does life with Christ mean to us? We become a new creation and we need to throw off everything that hinders our relationship with God. Don't normalise sin. Run the race of life with perseverance, it is a marathon not a sprint. Be obedient to God, using your gifts to serve God's family. Time is limited, stop blaming others, and be rooted in the truth to distinguish false teaching, and remain in Christ. You can watch the full lesson on our YouTube channel (it starts at 50 mins).
We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
The Hebrew word "yada" means "to know" from the heart or by experience. While the word "relationship" is not in the Bible, it permeates the scriptures. God knows our hearts and our thoughts. We get to know him by being broken, humble, completely open and by making it our goal to know him.
