Mental health Month - Susan Coryell by Forward Church Sermons

In this message, we expose the difference between emotional hype that acts like a mystical sugar pill and mature faith in the truth of the gospel that anchors us in what God has already completed in Christ. Paul’s call to walk by faith and not by sight invites us to stop leaning on external stimulation and instead live from the settled, eternal reality that is already ours.

When the Word is truly received, the works will naturally follow as a result of how you see the Word.

When we place our faith and hope in Christ, it allows Him to do a work in us, to remove our dead root of sinful nature and replace it with His life. It’s as if we were buried with Him, and then raised when He was raised to new and eternal life. From then on, in Him we truly are alive.

Jesus entered the darkness of Psalm 22—fully bearing our separation—so that through His once-for-all sacrifice as our High Priest, He secured eternal redemption and established a new covenant where we are forever made righteous in Him. Now, as new creations, we don’t strive to become—we live from what He finished, resting in His work while His resurrection life flows through every part of us.
