Pastor Jason Anderson - Audio

We all have both victories and tragedies in our past. Both want to have conversations with you. Happiness and contentment are greatly related to how we view our experiences--the culmination of all that I’ve been through from birth to the present. What if every single experience in our memory spoke victory?

I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. (Psalm 9:1 NKJV)

How did God love the world? He didn't condemn the world or smite the world, or punish the world. He didn't point out the sins of the world. He LOVED the world. We all want to stamp out the evil in this world, but how we fight might be doing more harm than good. Why are we trying to instruct the world in morality and hold them to our moral standard before they know Jesus?

"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." (2 Peter 1:3 NIV)

You can do big things; you can do more than you think. You can reach the stars, dream the big dreams, climb the mountain, defeat the giant, and take the land God has given you. You've heard the phrase, "bit off more than you can chew"? Our Lord Jesus has called us to bite off more than we can chew.

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." (Romans 8:37 NKJV)

"Love keeps no record of wrongs," (1 Corinthians 13:5) and it's the key to having rich, lasting, joyful relationships. But when we keep a record of the wrongs--what our spouse said or did, or our brother, coworker, church family--it has the power to erode our relationships and attitudes; it can steal our joy and make us bitter.
