Following fear will always lead us away from God and into isolation and loneliness. If God didn’t send it so don’t you receive it.

Jesus freely gave the gift; but we have to reach out and receive it. All we have to do is Lay It Down.

Have you ever been ashamed by something you’ve done or haven’t done?

Jesus NAILED everything that would keep us from experiencing relationship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Most of us have felt abandoned, rejected or alone at some point in our lives. The emotional trauma of abandonment is literally debilitating for millions of people.

Our subject today deals with a monster that lurks inside all of us. Left unchecked, this monster has the potential to destroy your marriage, dissolve your company, ostracize your children and even draw nations into war. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? That’s right, PRIDE.

Seeking and saving is all about being intentional to help people “FIND” their way back to God. The Great Commission emphasizes the importance of helping people not only find but “FOLLOW” Jesus Christ.

God prepared us for good things and He designed us to live the good life.
