That plan is for us to fully glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. We glorify God by loving Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and by loving our neighbors as ourselves. This is the great calling of all people. Sanctification– growing in holiness– is the process whereby we more fully live into God’s plan for our lives.

God’s plan includes a life filled with the fruits of the Spirit. A life with Christ means a life that knows love, experiences profound joy, has peace in the midst of trials, exhibits patience, is kind to others, exudes goodness, preserves faith, walks in gentleness, and practices self-control. Knowing God is the path to a life that truly demonstrates these lives.

Countless things stand between us and living into God’s plan for our lives. We wrestle with our own sinful nature that pulls us from the things of God, we suffer at the hands of other sinful people, and we experience the pain of living in a fallen world. Each of these things present great obstacles between us and walking according to God’s will.

How do we overcome the obstacles and walk the path that Christ has for us?

That’s the question that Christians have been wrestling with for twenty centuries, and it is the question we will be exploring in the 5-week summer teaching series starting July 6. This teaching series is designed for all ages. We will have a children’s program and nursery available. We would love for you to join us as we discuss the journey of sanctification and understand how a person changes.

Pray

Want us to pray for someone in need? Submit a prayer request (with their permission) and your prayer will be communicated with our clergy, Church staff, and Intercessory Prayer Team volunteers.

The person will remain on the prayer list for four weeks or until the office is notified otherwise.

Give

Everything we own and everything we have comes from God. So, when we give, we simply offer him a small portion of the abundance he has already given to us.

Giving is an expression of our thankfulness and praise to God, and there are various ways to give at The Church of the Cross.
