• March 22, 2026Joy & Peace

  I think that we are needing a little

  Joy and Peace

  John 16:16-33

  A little teaching first  “In Jesus name”

  Our approach to God is based on His

  merit, not our own.

  We should be seeking to accomplish

  His will not ours.

  The ultimate goal is His glory.

  Unstealable Joy

  Immediate

  Eminent

  Ultimate

  Perfect Peace

  In Him

  His cross brought spiritual peace.

  His coming brings ultimate peace.

• March 08, 2026Clash of the Kingdom

  Clash of the Kingdom

  John15:18-27

  Culture vs. Kingdom

  Every culture has its own share of

  wickedness.

  Stepping into a new culture gives a

  fresh perspective.

  Don’t focus on picking a team.

  Focus on surrendering to a kingdom.

  Culture vs. Christian

  We don’t need any self-inflicted wounds.

  Endure hardship as a good soldier.

  Culture vs. the Lord

  Hated without cause.

  Humanity renders God guilty.

  Thank God for the HELPER.

  When opposition comes, so does opportunity

  and you’ll be empowered.

• March 01, 2026LOVE

  Love

  John15:12-17

  Starts with God

  His initiation

  His choosing

  Continues with God

  Greatest - not about the quality of the

  object, but the price paid.

  IF -  Not a cause that proceeds and

  brings about an effect but an effect

  that follows and confirms a cause.

  A real love connection

  Linked to friendship with God

  Linked to obedience

  Sometimes sadly Ends with God

  Cannot pursue being loved by the world.

  Cannot presume you'll be loved by the

  world.

• February 22, 2026A B I D E

  A B I D E

  John 15

  The True Vine (1-3)

  “I am going to do for you, what you have failed to do for yourself.”

  Our position in His presence is because of who He is,

  not what we have done.

  Purging or Pruning   (2)

  Lifting up or cutting back

  Difficulty grows us

  Abide      (4,5)

  Christians will bear fruit.

  I'm not where I was, nor where I want to be

  It means remain.

  We wander away    

  Consider the context

  Peter with his brash claims

  passionate denial

  and ultimate pursuit.

  What things in your life stir your affections for Jesus?

  Psalm 91

  Love and Joy come to you. (9-11)

  The Power of the Resurrection

  Philippians 3:1-10

  *Gives Assurance      Act 13:29-33

  Working Out

  Philippians 2:12 -18

  A crucial “THEREFORE”

  Duty rests on a foundation of doctrine.

  A constant conflict

  We don't do good works for salvation, but

  we are saved for good works.

  Human responsibility and

  divine empowerment coexist.

  A higher Calling

  Cheerful living in a grumpy world

  Straight living in a crooked world

  Radiant living in a dark world

       Share the gospel with your life and

  with your words.
