The Battle in Our Mind, Part 1

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Personal Renewal

Synopsis: As we continue our series on personal renewal, we move on from learning what God has to say about the biblical use of the mind that is key to our growth in Christlikeness, to another component of renewal that is key to our success in Christlikeness--The Battle in our Mind. It's imperative to remember not only where the spiritual battle lies but also exactly what is at stake in this long war for the control of our hearts. If we would win The Battle in our Minds, there are three things we need to know, believe, and act upon that are presented in today's text of Scripture. This message covers the first two of these truths.

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Using Your Mind Biblically, Part 1

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Personal Renewal

Synopsis: In Philippians 4:5-7, God talks to us about the matter of peace within. In 4:9, God reveals the source of peace--Himself! Sandwiched in between these verses talking about God's peace is the instruction given to us in 4:8 that is so vital in experiencing that peace. Here, God teaches us how to use our minds biblically. If you and I are to enjoy God's peace within, we must use our minds biblically. God's Word shows us to do that.
