EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY

Please join us for Sunday services at 10:30 a.m. when the Rev. Lee Lowery will celebrate the Holy Eucharist. We are asking everyone please to wear a mask. The service will be live streamed on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ EpiphanyTallassee/ For more informa- tolerate loving anything or anyone (including ourselves) more than we love him. When we choose our way instead of his, we are loving ourselves more than loving God, and breaking the first and greatest commandment.

Also, my unconquered self challenges the Lordship of Christ in my life. Again, from the text, taking up the cross (dying to self) and following him (instead of our own will) are the essence and evidence of a surrendered life. He said the one who will not bear the cross and follow him “cannot” be his disciple (Luke 14:27). Jesus questioned the discipleship of those who called him Lord but did not do what he said (Luke 6:46).

Finally, the unconquered self contradicts living by the Spirit. In Galatians 5, Paul contrasts two ways of living. We either tion, visit the church website at http:// epiphanytallassee.org/

FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

“We are OPEN and everyone is WELCOME! Come worship with us in person Sunday mornings at 8:50 a.m. (contemporary) or 11 a.m. (traditional). Sunday School for all ages is offered Sunday mornings at 10 a.m., and a nursery is available for infants. CHILDREN & YOUTH: meet live by the flesh (our own will, appetites and desires) or by the Spirit (following the direction of God’s Holy Spirit within us). He gave two lists to show the kind of thinking, speech and behavior that comes from the two controllers in verses 19-23. Take the test for yourself. Will your life reveal that your unconquered self is in control? Or will your answer reveal that the Spirit of God is reigning in your life?

I realize this may be an uncomfortable subject to consider. But it is very important. Living in this evil world is tough. There are many dangers and foes to godly living all around us. But none of them can harm me as much as my own unconquered self. May God give us grace to see the need, and strength to surrender control of our lives to him.

Sunday evenings from 5-6:30 p.m. and Wednesday evenings from 6-7:15 p.m.; supper is included both days! For more information about our church or the programs we offer, visit our website: fumctallassee. com or call us: 334-283-2195. FUMC Tallassee - 1 Jordan Avenue.”
