Openly acknowledging Christ in our lives. Have you ever had a "Matthew Party"? Is it time to "come out of the Christian closet"? How we must proclaim Christ by our changed lives as well as by our words. Scripture requires both. Making Christianity attractive without obnoxiously parading our beliefs.

First we must be crucified with Christ. Only then can He live in us, and for the first time we can say we have true LIFE. Why salvation must be Christ's work, and not our own. Why He must live in us, and not our own life. How Christ comes to live in us. Also: He must increase, but we must decrease. Signs we are letting Christ live in us. How in our weakness, Christ's strength is magnified.

Why do so many celebrate the pagan Easter holiday instead of God's festival of the Wavesheaf, which celebrates Christ the Firstfruits and His resurrection the Biblical way? Without Wavesheaf Sunday, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, none of the other prophecies about God's kingdom would happen. Hear and read about this fascinating "forgotten festival".

Is the righteousness of God by faith alone - or does God call us to live and practice His righteousness every day? If so, how? If we have to practice it, how can it also be imputed to us? Hear scripture's answers of how we let Jesus live in us - and experience the resulting peace and joy.

We know we must be righteous, but we must be sure we understand what it is, how we get it, and how the Bible describes 2 kinds of righteousness: our own from the law, and the righteousness of God by faith. Without the right kind of saving righteousness, we will not be in the kingdom! Topics: importance of the Law in defining righteousness and its place in our ultimate righteousness. Can obeying the law justify, save us, or make us righteous to inherit God's kingdom?
