      Benefits of the CHRISTIAN Life

      Saddleback Church | July 26, 2015

      A feature is a characteristic that makes something unique. It sets something apart and does something special. A benefit is how that feature can help you. God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and special power to do good and heal the people he came across. That was his mission statement, and we who are Christians benefit from that. In this message, Jason Frenn details the four benefits of the Christian Life.

      Message Action Plan

      Message Action Plan

      Dear Saddleback Family, 

      Use the Message Action Plan below to help put the things you learned this weekend into practice. If you missed last weekend's message, click here to watch it online.


      Benefits of the CHRISTIAN Life
      The Best News I've Ever Heard - Part 3
      Jason Frenn
      July 25-26, 2015

      How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10:38 (NIV)

      Benefit #1 SALVATION FOR YOUR SPIRIT

      When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." Mark 2:17 (NLT)

      ACTION PLAN:  Make a list of family members that don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and start praying for them and, if possible, introduce Christ to them.

      Benefit #2 PEACE FOR YOUR MIND

      "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."   Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

      For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.            Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

      ACTION PLAN:  Journal your daily battles, read them out loud and ask Christ to bring peace to your life.

      Benefit #3HEALING FOR YOUR BODY AND SOUL

      ACTION PLAN:  Write down and confess to another believer the barriers in your heart that keep you from having Christ heal you so that you can serve Him.

      Benefit #4 DELIVERANCE FROM THE DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS IN YOUR LIFE

      "If the Son sets you free, you'll be free indeed."  John 8:36 (NASB)

      ACTION PLAN:   Accept that you are not alone in your destructive patterns (habits)—that we all need help and help can be received with dignity.  Reach out to your Small Group members or your church for Christ-centered assistance
