Candence- Personhood

Recap

God saw it was good illustration- Kelty drawing

Genesis 1:31 NIV

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

As we talked about last week, One of the first places we see Godly cadence is in the rhythm of creation. When God created the cosmos He was clearly in “the groove,” and everything He made was, “good.”

God’s Creation was Good

Mark 1:35 NIV

Waking up to the first alarm makes us win the first battle of the day.

Spiritual Discipline

As Christians we have this issue called the Flesh

Galatians 5:17 NIV

For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

One of the many things about the flesh is that it does not want what the Spirit wants

The quote from Jocko Freedom is being set free from sin

Galatians 5:1 NIV

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Francis Chan says that it is that we don’t get to sin, we don’t have to sin
