The Almighty, Ever-Present, All-Knowing, Never-Changing God of the Universe wants YOU to Discover and Deepen a Relationship with Him through Jesus. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 God is Infinitely Powerful and Intensely Personal – Matt Chandler

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!! Prayer is not about information. It is about intimacy with the Father. Prayer is the means by which our Sovereign God accomplishes “on Earth as it is in Heaven”.

"Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am."– David Platt

We are all snake bitten. You can either continue to DENY it and cover it, or DIAGNOSE it and be Cured. The Hope found in Jesus is Greater than your Despair. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should...

"Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil." Ephesians 4:26-27 "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." James 1:19-20 "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with al...

The opposite of Faith is FEAR (not doubt). Fear paralyzes. Faith produces. Without Faith it is impossible to please God. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the...

Complaining is rooted in putting our hope in ever changing circumstances. Contentment is found in putting our hope in the never changing Christ.

There is one certainty for all humanity. We each will have to atone for the guilt of our sins. Each of us has two options; either we self-atone or we surrender to Christ’s atoning work on the cross.

The Point: Where sin runs deep, grace runs deeper.

The Point: Get off of the merry go round of normality and LIVE the Life that Jesus has for you. Final Thought: "If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy i...

Big Idea: Victory does not start with bold actions or rigorous obedience but with intimate faith in Jesus Christ. We overcome the world because He overcame the world!

Love is revealed in Freedom and Forgiveness while FEAR is rooted in control and condemnation. Perfect Love (Jesus) casts out fear. Final Thought: And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.”...

God is Love. If God lives in us then we should Love. Final Thought: “For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.” – John Stott

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 Final Thought: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and...

You and I don’t need a better heart. We need a NEW HEART, His HEART. A Heart that loves God and Loves one another.

Righteous deeds that rightly reflect a relationship with God come only as a result of our right standing with Him through Christ’s death and resurrection. Final Thought: “Grace is glory begun, and glory is grace completed.” Jonathon Edwards.

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us” - AW Tozer Final Thought: Abiding in Christ can only be fully experienced by wholly and completely surrendering ourselves to Jesus, just as he wholly and completely surrendered himself for us.

The GOSPEL gives us the power to live lives of INTEGRITY, GENEROSITY and HUMILITY. Final Thought: So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless...

The Love of Jesus IN you changes the way you Love the ones Beside you. -The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6b (NIV) Action Steps: * With whom do I need to reconcile? ____________________ * What is my next move? __________________ * By When? ____________________ Final thought: 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your...

God’s acceptance is the power that liberates us from sin, not the reward for having liberated ourselves- JD Greear Final thought: "I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through Yes, I'll admit that I'm a...
