May 25         (Sixth Sunday of Easter) 

Text:            John 14:23-29

Title:            How to Live Like You Mean It:

Theme:         Jesus makes great demands upon us as his disciples. He doesn't expect us to be disciples on our own. He doesn't expect us to do anything on our own. We are graciously given the Holy Spirit - guide, interpreter, counselor, and advocate. In our weakness, the Holy Spirit helps us. A truly meaningful life is lived with the knowledge that we don't have to try to follow Jesus on our own. The Holy Spirit helps us.

Title:            How to Live Like You Mean It:

Text:            John 10:11-15
