This message is calling God's people to a higher spirituality. We have not exhausted God's Spirit and power. On the contrary, we should experience a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost. God is calling us to come up higher.

In many ways, we thirst, not only physically, but also spiritually and socially! The issue we face as mankind is not whether or not we thirst, but rather what we seek to quench our thirst. Without a doubt, we all have needs. How do we fill our needs? In this week's sermon, "Come to Jesus and Drink," we consider our thirst and how to satisfy it.

In this week's sermon podcast, we look at Jeremiah 18:1-6, "Clay in the Potter's Hands." A lump of clay is not impressive. Its uses are limited. A lump of clay is not attractive. But with the creativity and skill of a master potter, a lump of clay can be transformed into an impressive, useful, and beautiful vessel. The Lord is able to transform our lives in this same way if we are willing to be clay in the potter's hands.

Man is limited, but God is unlimited. We sometimes put God in a box, ignoring this reality: God does impossible things. Where our resourcefulness ends, God's is just beginning. His Spirit reaches to the ends of the earth. His Spirit is powerful, and he searches the hearts of men. His Spirit is able to do far beyond all we can ask or imagine. We can do all things, not by our own might,or by our own power, but by the Spirit of the Lord. The Holy Ghost is our power.

Attitude is everything. We need to approach life with an optimistic spirit. We can choose to look at the negative side of any situation, or we can choose to be hopeful in the promises of God. No matter how bad our circumstances become, we still have Jesus Christ and our hope in the Lord.

This sermon is a followup message to the previous sermon, "Soul-winners." Todd will continue to look at the priority of being a witness and sharing our faith in Christ.

Am I a soul winner? This is a question we should ask ourselves from time to time. Our primary responsibility as Christians is to make disciples. Someone shared the gospel with us and led us to Jesus. We have the same compelling call to share Christ with others. This week's sermon considers our Christian witness and the call to make disciples.

The United States remains a somewhat religious society. Religious telecasts and podcasts are replete. Nevertheless, the morality of the nation has continued to decline. Bottom line: the U.S. is religious and godless at the same time. We are experiencing apostasy. Christianity lacks conviction and relationship with Christ. It has become a religious designation only. Today's message looks at this dilemma, and calls for something deeper.

We are free in Jesus. In fact, he came for this very purpose - to save us from the power of sin and death. Moreover, our liberty is not freedom to live as we please, but to serve the Lord and please him.

Human beings want control. They desire control over their own lives. They often try to control circumstances, and even other people. When they feel like they are losing control, they become anxious and angry. Only one person is truly in control: Jesus Christ. We need to learn to surrender
complete control to him.
