Luke 14:12-14
He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”


Serving kills pride.

Seeking first His Kingdom kills comparison.

A right understanding of sin kills apathy.

Wisdom helps to kill sin.

Christ exalting fellowship helps kill sin.


The sacrifice of Jesus cancels death, and the power of the Holy Spirit allows us to kill sin.

Romans 8:11-13
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
