We are not here by accident.
We can’t live life without acknowledging and appreciating what God does for us.
Be a more thankful person.
Where is your heart…are you set for change?
Acts 13:42-52
When you came to Church today, did you hope to hear from the Lord?
Did you hope to touch God with your praise?
When you come to God, come seeking and have purpose.
Also have purpose with who you hang aroung with…
There are some people you should spend more time with, and others’ less.
And when someone doesn’t want to hear good news about Jesus, you might need to move on.
Christians have Joy…do you?
Patience means that you remain and continue, even if things get tough.
When was the last time you were filled with joy?
People don’t want to be like people who are unhappy, moody, hopeless, etc.
If you are happy and joyful, people will ask you how to get it.
James 1:1-27
Count it all Joy
Why go to God/Church if not for joy and peace and soundness of mind?
There may be growing pains in Christ – have patience and continue.
Victory in Christ gives you more strength, confidence, and joy.
You can pray with confidence when you live it right.
If a person hasn’t made a decision to fully follow Christ – it’s like they have two souls…unstable.
Hearing a sermon doesn’t make you a Christian…doing what God says makes you a Christian.
The only way to be blessed by God is to continue in His perfect law of liberty.
Good religion is unselfish. It reaches out to help others, and impact lives for Christ.
