This is one of those spiritual truths that go completely contrary to the natural mind. In order to experience true life, we must forget about ourselves and give ourselves totally over to Him.

When people separate themselves from the local church, they also are cutting off a supply of the Spirit that comes to them through the office of the pastor. It is a supernatural gift that brings leading, feeding, protection and correction.

Just like many people look to their natural environment to produce happiness, many believers think that they need just one more spiritual experience to make the difference. The truth is, we must let the very presence of Jesus be our satisfaction.

The Church is both universal and local. It is essential that people not only be a part of the The Church through salvation but also a local assembly of believers. It is the Lord's priority and should be ours too.

Many people have misconceptions about some of the most fundamental elements of Christianity. This message deals with the Church and defines, from God's perspective, what it is.

Many people are trying to get God to do what He has already done. The truth is that healing already belongs to every believer. Knowing this, we can effectively defend what we already have.

Many people believe that their happiness is a byproduct of their environment and circumstances. This belief will condemn a person to perpetual dissatisfaction. This is the "grass is greener" mentality.

One universal commonality that people have is a desire to be happy and enjoy life. If we are promised the quality of life that God has (John 10:10) then it would be necessary for us to know what His life is like.

The way that we choose between life and death is by the words of our mouths. We should not only avoid saying the wrong thing, but continually say what we want.

God's plan for us is that we be together. Although we are to do good to those in the world, those in the household of faith are to be priority. This message deals with this truth and the integrated truth of sowing and reaping.
