02.04.2024 | Pastor Marc wraps up the Spiritual Counterfeit series with "In Search of Balance: Asceticism Edition," where we explore the delicate balance of self-denial in the pursuit of spiritual growth. Delving into Colossians 2:20-3:2, we dissect the pitfalls of extreme self-denial and its misinterpretation as a mark of spirituality. Drawing from biblical passages like 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and Luke 9:23, we provide clarity on the biblical call for self-denial, emphasizing the importance of balance. Join us as we uncover three essential principles, including the Delight Principle, which cautions against neglecting the enjoyment of God's gifts, the Destination Principle, emphasizing love for Jesus and others, and the Downstream Principle, highlighting the transformative power of self-denial when guided by the Spirit. Tune in for a concise yet insightful exploration of living a life of self-denial in a healthy and balanced manner.
