John Trask shares about leaning into Jesus. Jesus' love is so abundant that when we focus on how much He loves each one of us, it changes our lives.

Jerry talks about the unconditional love we receive from Jesus, and our role in passing it on to others in our lives.

Death cannot solve the problem of sin, Jesus did! The past cannot separate us from the love of God. Your past does not define you, in fact it does not belong to you! The bible is written for the saints and beloved of God, not sinners. Jesus reaped what we sowed; now we get to reap what He sowed. We can't change our nature, Christ did change our nature. Jesus paid the mortgage, stop making payments!

Sharing the example of John the Beloved, Dale Encouraged us to seek God with all that we have in us, and go after a deeper relationship with Him. He presented a question - In our Father's Kingdom there is no authority without love. True or False? Through loving authority, we need to let Him fill us with His love and change our mind, so we can impact those around us.

Michelle, Childrens Pastor, shared about learning to live in a NEW KINGDOM. Salvation gives us access to the things of the Kingdom.She pointed out that Jesus said, "On earth as it is in Heaven", and that is our commision - reach into the storehouses of Heaven and pull down Heaven for ourselves and those around us. When we grab hold of that Kingdom truth and stand in it - life changes! Heaven is NOW!

What would it be like if you had never sinned? What if you had never been sinned against? What would it be like if you were a brand new being? We have all been given the ministry of reconciliation, and we all have the authority from Jesus to disciple nations. We GET TO do everything that Jesus did, and greater things. If you are encountering God, then people will encounter Him through YOU! Jesus died on the cross to make you a brand new being.

What would it feel like now, if you had never sinned, and if you had never been sinned against. Jesus paid the price. Trusting the authority that God has put in your life works. Being overwhelmed by your circumstances is the result of failing to be overwhelmed by your assignment.

Dale King shared from Matthew 28, where Jesus told the disciples "As you go, teach them My ways..." He went on to encourage us, that as we live our lives, we need to let all that Jesus has done for us flow out, and be showing people His ways.

Pastor Jerry discusses the work of Jesus on the cross. Jesus declared, "It is finished." So, what does a believer do next, and how do we approach going in the direction of God's leading?

Dale Oneal shared from his heart tonight about the relationship that we have with God. He pointed out that it is a friend-to-friend relationship, not a master/servant one. Also, that we need to have an open ear, to hear what Holy Spirit is saying to us in the moment. To get into the destiny that God has for us, we have to start with doing simple everyday things. As we plan, He causes success, because He loves us and is for us.
