1. RENEWING
OUR
MINDS
Romans 12:2

2. a New
Way of
THINKING

3. about the important things in life
Our current ways of thinking
about the important things
in life
Good and Bad
Truth and Lies
Love
Happiness
Success
is conformed to this world

4. Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. That is not the way you learned Christ! For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus. You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness Ephesians 4:17-24

5. We’ve lost SENSITIVITY
for how far our thinking
is from JESUS’ thinking

6. The WORLD places itself
at the center of all things
and teaches us to do
the same

7. Our current way of thinking
leaves us feeling:
unfulfilled
unloved
unhappy
afraid
unattractive
not good enough
lonely
desperate

8. Our current way of
thinking needs to be
TRANSFORMED
to JESUS’ Way
of thinking

9. We need to become JESUS THINKERS: ruled by Jesus and not us
or any other influence

10. We need to become JESUS THINKERS: filled with LOVE and the HOPE
of Eternal Life

11. We need to become
JESUS THINKERS:
seeing ABUNDANCE
and not
scarcity

12. We need to become
JESUS THINKERS:
OTHER-SERVING
and not
SELF-SERVING

13. We need to become JESUS THINKERS: BELIEVING all things are POSSIBLE
through HIM

14. We have to let the HOLY SPIRIT teach us to use the MIND of CHRIST
in us

15. We have the
MIND of
CHRIST!
