Primary Bible verses:

1^st Peter 3:18

Romans 8:1-17

Key sermon points:

“You can’t have this if you want that.”

• Lent highlights the either-or choice of following Christ
• The life of the Spirit or the things of the flesh

“For if you live after the flesh, you shall die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh you shall live.” (Romans 8:13)

• Whatever I cling to of myself, it will keep me in weakness and spiritual death
• The ONE thing we need is to know Jesus, and we cannot until we are prepared to say: “Whatever it takes Lord.”
• You cannot truly know Him if you want anything else more
