V3-24 Renewing the Mind
Walking Talking Bible Project
Why does being transformed involve the renewing of one’s mind? How might arrogance and self-righteousness hinder transformation? How might the advice in Philippians 4:8 aid in transformation? These are just some of the questions to consider in this week’s edition of the Walking Talking Bible Project.

Connection Passage #1: Luke 18:9–14
Luke 18:9–14
9 To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14 I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Connection Passage #2 Jeremiah 9:23–24
Jeremiah 9:23–24
23 This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.
24 But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth— for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.
Connection Passage #3: Philippians 4:8
Philippians 4:8
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
