Jesus said that we are supposed to do greater works than he did. That means that we are to be like Him in order to do greater works than He.

Is that the case with you?

When the world, the family. co-workers, unbelieving friends see you, do they see Christ? Do they hear Jesus when you speak?

What is the mission of the church? Why did God save us? If you do not know or need to be reminded, then this is the message for you.

True freedom and being used in God's kingdom in a mighty way cannot happen until we realize that we have been forgiven of not only sin but the guilt of sin.

Though the world seems to be in the hands of the enemy and God asleep, don't believe it. God is in FULL control.

What we need to do is keep our eye on Jesus and not on the world. Keep your perspective!

What are you desperate for God to do? What is it that if God doesn't come and intervene, you will forever be bound and without hope?

Be confident that He is able to do it!

Are you blessed? If you are in Christ, no matter your personal situation, then the answer is yes. There are times it may not seem like it but

when Jesus Christ is on your side, you are blessed above many.

Three principals to live by:

Don't let the rocks cy out in your place. Praise him, for he is worthy to be praised.

Don't stay silent and not pray. We are to pray for every situation. No prayer is too small. God cares about every aspect of our lives. We have not cause we ask not.

When asked where hope lies, let us not stay silent, but tell them the way to hope is through Jesus Christ.

What does your life smell like? Does it smell like a septic tank or like a rose garden?

Our lives are to smell like the sweet fragrance of true life, which can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

When our eyes are opened to the sin in our lives, and we repent of them through Jesus Christ, our heavenly Father awaits us with open arms to welcome us back and fuly restore us.

When you hear of a great tragedy, do you ever wonder if it were God's wrath for some great sin? The Lord says unless you repent, you shall perish. Sobering, isn't it? That's why we need to shout and thank God for his Sure Mercies towards us.
