"Are We Living in the Now of Jesus" | Mt. Pleasant MBC Worship Service

Aug 10, 2025    Minister Walter Bridgewater

In this powerful message, we're reminded that there is 'no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8:1). This profound truth challenges us to live in the 'now' of Jesus, embracing our new identity as children of God. The speaker beautifully illustrates the internal struggle we all face - the battle between our old sinful nature and our new nature in Christ. We're encouraged to 'feed' the good within us, much like the Native American tale of the two dogs. This message invites us to reflect on what we're nurturing in our lives and to lean into the transformative power of Christ. Are we living in guilt and condemnation, or are we embracing the freedom and forgiveness offered through Jesus? This teaching reminds us that our past doesn't define us; instead, our identity is found in Christ's redeeming work on the cross.
