Christ’s Church, Waldorf, MD Saturday, September 26th and Sunday September 27th, 2015 Learn how to: • Win the battle of the mind and be sensitive to Christ within • Understand how you are dead and still alive • Deal with the sin problem once and for all. Dead & Alive What you will learn The Teachers The Seminar Based on Romans 6:11, “Likewise, you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (NKJV), this seminar presents answers that you will rarely find elsewhere. How to live free of self-condemnation Though most Bible-believing Christians are familiar with this concept, you’ll see how this can—and should be a living reality! Guy Vieira Guy is the president of Positive Words Inc., a transdenominational teaching ministry founded in 2012 by Rev. Peter J. Wade, noted international teacher, author, speaker and founder of the extensive teaching resource, www.peterwade.com. This is a unique opportunity to understand the truths and practicality of Romans chapters 6 to 8, as well as chapter 5:12-25. Learn the four key words that unlock this whole section, simple yet so profound they could change your life. You are not dangerous until your’re dead! – ”dead indeed to sin and alive [sensitive] to God” — two sides to one vital truth. And all of this is ours because we are “in Christ Jesus”. This is not a new message... the apostle Paul gave clear and constant teaching on being in Christ and Christ being in you. In the past 150 years or so, many well-known preachers have echoed these truths, yet the urgency to hear and apply them is just as needed in these uncertain times. “Those three short words, in Christ Jesus, are, without doubt, the most important ever written, even by an inspired pen, to express the mutual relation of the believer and Christ.” —(A. T. Pierson, 1898). “The need is some concept that would reduce the whole of life to the utmost simplicity. If you have that, you’re “in”; if you don’t have it, you’re “out.” I felt I had found that concept in the phrase “in Christ.” If you are “in Christ” you’re “in life”; if you are “out of Christ” you’re “out of life” —(E. Stanley Jones, 1961). www.peterwade.com How you can be dead and alive at the same time Over 2,000 years ago when Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, something happened to every believer that few understand, much less enjoy the benefits of—learn how He replaced the “old you” with a “new you!” How to win the battle for your mind Many Christians are at war with themselves over right and wrong—fighting a battle that has already been won. Learn how the battle has been won and how to “reign in life.” The difference between good works and walking It’s been said that it is not only difficult, but impossible to live the Christian life. See for yourself from the Scriptures how to tap into the ever-present “living waters” and live far beyond your ability to please God! What Romans 7 is really saying Possibly one of the most misunderstood sections of Scripture, Romans 7 has been a stumblingblock to many sincere Christians. It’s desperate cry of futility, “Oh wretched man that I am” and the acknowledgement that “the good I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice” has left many wondering if there is any way to rise above this dilemna. Learn what the Scripture is really saying, and see what a change that makes in your life! The seminar, Dead & Alive focuses on the truths and practical application of Christ’s finished work in the believer and His union with them.
