Step Out - Part 3: Keep In Step

Jan 14, 2024    Pastor Mona Stephen

Stepping out signifies leaving one place for another, and according to Timothy Keller, it involves bold actions grounded in faith and trust, particularly in God's power. This step requires moving forward amidst uncertainties, aligning with biblical principles and Romans 8:28's assurance that God orchestrates everything for good. Trust, as emphasized by Isaac Watts, is pivotal, and Ephesians 3:20 underscores that God's power within us is crucial. The subsequent discussion delves into the significance of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life, highlighting the need to walk in step with the Spirit. It emphasizes the Spirit's role in spiritual transformation, guiding believers through yielding to godly desires, dwelling in Scriptures, examining fruit, prioritizing love, and depending on God. The analogy of a dance with the Spirit as the initiator underscores the need for believers to align with God's principles and maintain a close relationship for guidance and transformation, ultimately echoing the call to live dependent on God by keeping in step with His Holy Spirit. The conclusion emphasizes the invitation to invite Jesus into one's life for this transformative dance.
