SANCTIFIED Part 7: In Tune
Psalm 31:9-16, Philippians 2:5-11, Isaiah 50:4-9a, Luke 22:47-23:46
THE SANCTIFIED LIFE IS IN TUNE WITH GOD WHEN I AM…
Humble
Obedient unto Death
Willing to Associate with the Worst
"For the privileged and underprivileged alike, if the individual puts at the disposal of the Spirit the needful dedication and discipline, he can live effectively in the chaos of the present the high destiny of a son of God."
~Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited, pg 99
Let Psalm 31:14-15a be our prayer…
“But I trust in you, Lord;
I say, ‘you are my God.’
My times are in your hands…”
Message Reflection Questions
Begin with silence. Then read Psalm 31:14-16 as an opening prayer.
It’s Palm Sunday! Say Hallelujah (praise God!) for something from the past week.
Reading Isaiah 50:4-9a, what is the attitude of the “Servant of the Lord”?
How would you describe Christ’s mindset in Philippians 2:6-8?
Now compare the attitude of the servant and Christ’s mindset to the attitude and mindsets of the guards, Jewish leaders and Herod in Luke 22:63-23:12.
Paul’s instruction in Philippians 2:5 is for the believers to have Christ’s mindset with one another. When do you find it difficult to practice humility, obedience and associate with those considered “the worst”?
Using Isaiah 50:4 and Psalm 31:14-16 as a guide, how do we foster Christ’s attitude and mindset in ourselves?
What is one thing you want to take from this series on sanctification?
