Christ in Me

CROWD Church Livestream

Welcome to CROWD Church! In this weeks livestream, Matt Edmundson breaks down exactly what it means for christ to live in us, using Romans 2:20 as a core verse of study. To fully embrace and accept Christ in us we must first remove ourselves from the sins of the flesh, something Matt encourages us all to do, keeping Pauls words in Romans as a guiding principle for our lives.

Key Takeaways:

1. Finding Our True Identity in Christ: The main message is about finding our true identity in Christ. Matt talks about how, as Christians, we've been crucified with Christ, which means it’s no longer just us living our lives—Christ lives in us. This shift in identity is a game-changer for living a meaningful and whole life. It’s not about trying harder on our own; it's about letting Christ work through us.
2. God's Presence and the Holy Spirit: Matt highlights how God’s presence has moved throughout history—from the tabernacle to the temple, then to Jesus, and now to us as believers. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would live in us, making each of us a temple of God. This means that God is always with us, even if we don’t feel it. His presence offers guidance, comfort, and the power to live a life that pleases Him.
3. Dealing with Our Struggles: Another big point Matt makes is about the need to "crucify the flesh," which means tackling and overcoming the things in our lives that shouldn't be there—those habits and desires that take up space in our hearts where Christ should be. It’s tough, but it’s crucial for growing spiritually and getting closer to God. When we do this, we create room for the Holy Spirit to work more powerfully in us, helping us lead holier and more fulfilling lives.
