2010-03-07-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning March 7th, 2010 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: I Corinthians 2:9-10; Psalm 37:21-24; Ephesians 2:8-10

Topic: Assurance

Notes: - You never encounter a situation God has not prepared for you - We are not capable of saving ourselves or keeping ourselves - When we believe, we are created in Christ Jesus for good works - Our steps are ordered; when we stumble we stumble in His hand - There is safety and provision in His hand - Jonah didn't want to do what God had for him to do - God prepared a storm for Jonah (as He does for us) - God prepared the fish, then a plant to shade Jonah, and a worm to kill the plant so Jonah would move on when it was time - Everything God prepares for us to do is about people... that we love them and show them Jesus - Story of man putting fish on hook for Pastor as a child, so that he'd know the thrill; We don’t have what it takes so God does it for us.
