The gospel is dynamic and transforming! I am proud of the gospel! It is the power of God that brings salvation.

If we have lost hope in this world, maybe that means that our hope isn't here, but in heaven.

2 Cor 4:7-18

Colossians 1

Has your joy been stolen, or have you given it away?

Peter's story can be found throughout the new testament. Luke 5, John 21, Acts 4. He is known for his pride and quick actions. "Only humility will get you out of what pride got you into." Practice gratitude and forgiveness.

Genesis 37:5-11, 41:1-40, 50:19-20. Early on, Joseph was learning how to hear from God and how to tell other people about it. It's ok to practice and mess up. How would we handle being forgotten or in times of testing. Is now your opportunity to hold on to faith instead of giving up?

God is a t work even when we can't see it.

1 Samuel 13:14

1 Samuel 17:32-37

What is God preparing you for?

What if everything up until now has been a rehearsal?

2 Samuel 12:7-8

Aaron Davis takes us to Revelation 1:17-20 and 3:14 to talk about the Church of Laodicea. Lukewarm means that you are useless as opposed to hot or cold water which is helpful. He asks, what thinks have I put before God in my life? Is God knocking on our hearts? Can we hear his voice?

The Holy Spirit draws us to Jesus, convicts us, and sanctifies us. Truth is foundational, the spirit is transformational.

John 15: 26-27

2 Thes 2:13

Eph 5:26

Romans 8:26

1 Cor 2:10-12

1 Thes 1:5

1 Cor 4:20

Pentacost Sunday! Acts 1:4, 2:1-21. How can I stay aligned with the Holy Spirit? Obey completely, ask for more, and be receptive.

Renewal will come from people who have laid down their own agenda. Steps we should take to follow are: Obey, Wait, Protect, and Multiply.

Last week was about thirsting for God (John 7). It's time to move from thirsting to expecting. Have you limited God by your fears or expectations? Have you been looking for answers in the wrong places? Has frustration clouded your view of the king?

Ephesians 3:20

Repentance clears the way to hear from God.
