In, Not Of

Speaker : Maury Brenneman

Topic : Wisdom , Holiness , Community

As Christ-followers, we’re called to live by God’s wisdom, rather than the world’s.

Living by God’s Wisdom

God’s wisdom often stands in contrast to worldly thinking. While the world promotes self-reliance and compromise, Scripture calls believers to humility, obedience, and trust in God’s truth. Choosing God’s wisdom leads to clarity, direction, and life.

A Call to Holiness

Holiness is not about isolation, but about living set apart for God’s purposes. This message reminds us that Christ calls His followers to reflect His character in how we live, speak, and love—without conforming to the pressures of the world.

Shaped Through Community

God never intended us to walk this journey alone. Christian community plays a vital role in helping believers grow in wisdom and holiness. Through encouragement, accountability, and shared faith, we are strengthened to live out God’s calling together.

Faith Lived Daily

Being “in, not of” the world is a daily commitment. It requires intentional choices, reliance on God’s Word, and a heart surrendered to Christ. When we live by His wisdom, we become a light that points others toward Him.
