THE MIND OF CHRIST (verse 16)
The Spirit moves us from living a compartmentalized life through the mind of Christ.
Having the mind of Christ means sharing in the plan, purpose, and perspective of Christ.

1. My thoughts are powerful
-they drive how I live and impact
-what I think about myself
-what I think/believe about others
-what I think/believe about God
2. God’s thoughts can become my thoughts
-as believers in Christ, we have access to the “mind of Christ” if we walk in step with the Holy Spirit
3. True transformation begins not by acting differently, but by thinking differently.
-“The Mind of Christ” transforms every part of me
-they drive how I live and impact
-what I think about myself
-what I think/believe about others
