Scripture teaches that God can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or imagine (Eph 3:20). That's exciting stuff to preach about, and think about. It should be. We ought to be excited at the thought of God's power working in us, through us, and for us. I wonder though, if sometimes we affirm the exceedingly abundant power of God but then live as though God's power was not exceedingly abundant? How often does fear control our lives? How often does the fear of man keep us from doing what we know God wants us to do? How often do we choose safety and comfort over "risky" and uncomfortable obedience? I'm sure we would all say we want to experience God's power working in us, through us, and for us, but do we want it enough to DO what is required to experience God's power? How do we experience the power of God?

Sadly, many genuine believers in Jesus never come to the place where they experience the freedom of God. As a result their Christian lives are spent in misery and defeat. Rather than their relationship with Jesus providing them with abundant life, it is a source of frustration and discouragement. If this is you today, I have good news for you. God's plans for you are far greater than misery, defeat, frustration, and discouragement. God intends for you to live an abundant life and experience true freedom in Christ.

When we talk about peace we often think of peace as a lack of conflict. Peace is when everything in my world is working just as it should. There is no conflict, no pain, no hardship, no struggling, there is nothing bad going on in my world at all. While this may be a type of peace, it is not the kind of peace that the Bible promises us we can have. Instead of there being peace because nothing is wrong in my world. There is peace in spite of the fact things are wrong in my world. So how do we do this? How can we have peace when everything around us conspires to steal this peace? That's what this message is about.

One day we will stand face to face with God and have to give an account for our lives. What will we say? What will we do? More importantly, what will He say? What will He do? What can we do to prepare ourselves for that day? How can we be sure that fate doesn’t await us? How can we overcome the fact that we have sinned and are guilty in the courts of Heaven? That’s what this message is about.

Genuinely knowing God involves experiencing God. We are meant to know God by experience and we shouldn’t settle for anything less.
