“Living a Spirit-Centered Life” (Matthew 12:38-50)
Jesus addresses the scribes and Pharisees' demand for a sign, pointing to the sign of Jonah as a prophetic foreshadowing of His own death and resurrection. Jesus emphasizes that true faith is rooted in God's Word and not in seeking signs. We discuss the dangers of spiritual emptiness and the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit to withstand evil influences. Additionally, Jesus redefines family as those who do God's will, highlighting the need to prioritize our relationship with God above all else.
A 2,000 year old proven formula for growing your faith in God can be found by following these 3 steps: 1) Establish your faith on God's Word. 2) Constantly be filled with the Holy Spirit. 3) Live out God's will through loving Him, loving others, practicing humility, and seeking divine justice.
