Romans 8:1-4
Introduction
While Romans 8:1 is the start of a new chapter, it is not the start of a
new topic. It carries over from Chapter 7, in which the great conflict
within every believer is discussed. It draws to a close with the
question, “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body
of this death?” Rom 7:24.
While there is eternal deliverance in Jesus Christ through Salvation,
Paul now once again makes a play on words, with condemnation. Not every
time that condemnation is used in the Bible is it talking about eternal
condemnation.

The Mind of Christ
#
Philippians 2:1-5
Introduction
We started a little mini series on the mind. We have talked about our mind being stayed on God (Isa 26:3). We have considered what things we are to think about in Phil 4:8. Last week we saw 4 types of minds in the Bible, 1. The Condemned mind 2. The Carnal mind 3. The corrupt mind 4. The Converted mind.

What Kind of Mind do you have?
#
Introduction
We have been looking at what the Bible says about the mind. There are a lot of helpful verses that cover the topic. We examined Isaiah 26:3
Isaiah 26:3 — Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
We looked at
Philippians 4:8 —8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Consider your Thoughts
#
Philippians 4:8
Introduction
Isaiah 26:3 — Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Last week, we looked at this verse. In studying for the message, I was reminded of our text for tonight.
We are jumping in at the conclusion of Paul’s message to the believers that are in Philippi. There has already been a lot covered, and this is not the first time he has mentioned their mind, or their thoughts. It is probably the most direct time though.

Perfect Peace
#
Isaiah 26:3
Introduction
Peace is something much sought after in this world. I’m not talking about world peace, I’m talking about Personal Peace. Many people are seeking after peace. Many people turn to alcohol, drugs, or something that numbs their mind to find peace. The problem with that, it is only a temporary mask for peace, when the alcohol or drugs wears off, the problems are still there.
