June 2, 2024

Main Idea

The central theme of 'Fit Check - Part 1' was the contrast between our old self, characterized by earthly desires and sins, and our new self, which is renewed in Christ. Pastor Anthony stressed that just as we enjoy the feeling of new clothes, we should also relish the new life we have in Jesus. He challenged us to examine whether we're still clinging to our old ways or if we've truly embraced the new, Christ-like identity that fits us perfectly. The message called us to a deeper level of self-reflection and transformation through the Holy Spirit.

Scripture References

Colossians 3:1-11, James 1:14-15

How can we practically 'put on the new self' as described by Paul in Colossians?

If you're struggling with sin, remember that Jesus has exchanged your filthy rags for His righteousness.

What steps can we take to ensure we're not just hiding our sins but truly putting them to death?

Discussion Questions:

In what ways does 'putting on the new self' impact our daily interactions and relationships?

How does the concept of our lives being 'hidden with Christ in God' influence our sense of identity?

What role does the Holy Spirit play in helping us transition from the old self to the new self?

When we put on the new self, it fits us just like a tailored suit jacket - it's made for us.

Summary

In 'Fit Check - Part 1,' Pastor Anthony guided us through Colossians 3:1-11, emphasizing the transformation we undergo as believers. He likened our spiritual renewal to changing into a new outfit, one that reflects our new identity in Christ. We were reminded that our old ways, especially those related to sexual sin, must be put to death to embrace the life hidden with Christ. Pastor Anthony used relatable analogies, like shopping experiences and the concept of a 'fit check,' to illustrate the importance of wearing our new self, which is being renewed in the image of our Creator.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Consider what earthly desires you need to put to death to fully embrace your new life in Christ.

Reflect on whether your life reflects the new self that is being renewed in the image of its creator.
