After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you can.” We got our priorities mixed up.

God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.

God wants to give you a sound mind. A mind that is at peace with God, a mind that is focused on Him, and not the world. Are you ready to receive that mind today?

Jesus called us to walk in love. Unfortunately the world doesn’t have the proper biblical definition of love. Love involves doing things that many don’t associate with love. Things like judgement, like sharing Jesus.

God gives us power to do several things, including living for Him in this lost world. In fact, Jesus prayers that God will protect us from this evil world. We need to start using the power that God has given us to show Him to a lost and hurting world.

2 Timothy 4:7, Paul is teaching that God did not give us fear. Fear paralyzes our faith and renders us useless to God.

We are looking at 1 Thessalonians 4:7 and seeing what God has called us to, and what He has called us to abstain from.

There have been posts on social media lately that has caused me to scratch my head and say “huh?” One recently was someone posted that we need to read Ephesians 5:14, this verse proves that the Bible is “woke.” Friends, this kind of false teaching is all over our world today. We must make sure we walk right in this world, we need to awaken from our sleep and pull our heads out of the sand. By the way, Ephesians 5:14 is calling us to awaken out of our sleep and start living in the light of God.

Your faith is either proven or disproven by the works you do. Faith and works go together. Your works prove your faith. Your faith prove your works.

Today, we are going to look at a trial example. Trials are a part of life, and I will review what a trial is. I will also look at a real life example of someone who gone through a trial, and how they handled it.
