Building Character Live on June 9, 9:30am

June 9, 2024 • JJ Cox • Galatians 5:16–24

· We continue this week to look at building our character. o Remember that we’ve said that our character is that element of who we are mentally and morally that makes us distinctive as individuals. § That is highlighted by the things that we say and do § And is never more authentic than the decisions that we make when no one is around. · Over the last few weeks, we have looked at the importance of building our character by: o Guarding our minds and thinking about whatever was true, noble, pure, right, lovely and admirable o This is important because our minds are the starting point for what happens in the heart · Those things are internal factors that are foundations for external decisions and one of the most important decisions that we can make is “Who do we allow to speak into our lives?” · Today, I want us to understand that living in the freedom of Christ and by imitating His own character, we build our character into a ministry glorifying God and exclaiming the gospel.

· We continue this week to look at building our character. o Remember that last week we said that our character is that element of who we are mentally and morally that makes us distinctive as individuals. § That is highlighted by the things that we say and do § And is never more authentic than the decisions that we make when no one is around. · Over the last couple of weeks, we have looked at the importance of building our character by: o Guarding our minds and thinking about whatever was true, noble, pure, right, lovely and admirable o This is important because our minds are the starting point for what happens in the heart o So, we must guard what goes in the mind so that we can closely guard our heart. · Those things are internal factors that are foundations for external decisions and one of the most important decisions that we can make is “Who do we allow to speak into our lives?”
