Avoiding a False Front - Pastor Johnnie Simpson Jr.


This powerful message explores the struggle between living according to the flesh versus living by the Spirit. We are reminded that while the flesh is concerned with worldly success and keeping up appearances, this ultimately leads to burnout, anxiety and spiritual emptiness. The key is developing intimacy with God the Father and being led by the Holy Spirit. By investing time in our relationship with God and allowing Him to fill us, we gain access to an eternal inheritance as God's children. The passage from Romans 8 emphasizes that we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ when we are adopted into God's family. This gives us confidence and comfort, knowing we belong and have a close relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Ultimately, living by the Spirit frees us from putting on a false front, allowing us to experience real, fulfilling relationships with God and others in the family of faith.
