Humility (x2)
Romans 12: 1 – 2
1 I beseech [urge…appeal to] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service [and spiritual worship]. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Be transformed (which means a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means) by the renewing of your mind.
That really is a powerful statement – but what does it mean for us?
1 Corinthians 2: 16
16 For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.
We have the mind of Christ. That is another powerful statement, but what does it mean to have the mind of Christ? What does a renewed mind look like? All of the answers are in the word of God.
Philippians 2: 5 – 7
5 Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] 6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the form of a bondservant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.
Last time in Part One we looked at Humility (x1). We saw that Jesus didn’t come to earth as God to show us how to do the God stuff – he came as a man to show us how to do the man stuff.
Let me clarify something. Jesus the eternal Son of God stripped himself of his Divine privileges, but he retained his Divine nature as well as taking on human nature – he really was 100% God and 100% man.
In the gospel of John we see the “I AM” statements of Jesus, as he occasionally reveals his identity as the eternally existent Son of God.
I AM he; I AM the bread of life; I AM the light of the world; Before Abraham was I AM; I AM the door; I AM the good shepherd; I AM the resurrection and the life; I AM the way, the truth, and the life; I AM the true vine.
However, it is important that we understand that Jesus lived in perfect submission to God the Father, and the Father did the supernatural works.

Welcome
Thank you for visiting us online. We appreciate your interest in our church and look forward to having you drop by often.
We are happy you took the time to visit our site and would like to invite you to one of our Sunday celebrations.
New Wine Church offers a welcoming environment where you can experience lively and Spirit-led contemporary worship and real, relevant and radical teaching straight from the Bible. There is always opportunity to receive prayer whatever your need might be. We believe that Jesus still heals the sick and brings freedom to the oppressed.
Whether you have been a Christian for a long time, or whether you are taking your first tentative steps as a new believer, or are just interested in finding out more about the claims of Christ, our goal is to help you see how relevant God and his word are to your everyday life.
Our vision is to establish people in the reality of who they are, and all that they can be in Christ Jesus.
As people are established in relationship with their heavenly Father they are equipped with a faith that is relevant to face all of the challenges of living in the 21st century, and are enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit to live a radical life that revolutionises the humdrum of everyday existence and transforms it into an exciting and exhilarating experience.
