A miracle is a supernatural touch from God. Today is the day for your miracle. Everything must bow to the name of Jesus. The impotent man at the pool of Bethesda is an example that Jesus wants us to respond to our issues. The woman with blood issues acted on her faith to get healed. The man with the withered hand acted on Jesus' command and shows that Jesus cures our spiritual witheredness too. These examples show that Jesus wants to heal us and we need to act with faith to receive our miracle.

The Holy Spirit mirrors Christ and the Holy Spirit lives within us. The Holy Spirit is to our advantage. The Holy Spirit is not an inferior substitute to Jesus, instead He mirrors Christ, and with Him we represent Christ on earth. We need the Holy Spirit to supercharge our lives and to mold us to be more like Jesus.

Jesus has risen! The Stone is rolled away! The tomb is empty! Easter is all about our risen Savior. The resurrection does three things:

1) Signifies that Jesus is the Son of God and the Lord of the Universe.

2) Declares that Satan's power is broken and he is defeated.

3) Shows the reality of God's power.

Luke 24

Rev. 1:17

Phil 2:8-11

The entire Bible points towards Jesus. The power and majesty of God, in Jesus, laid down His life for us, to save us and be the author and finisher of our faith. Another way to look at it is Jesus is the originator and initiator of our faith. God gives us the desires of our heart and one of them is to grow our faith. We grow our faith by keeping our focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

All the great acts in the Bible were committed by faith. They are a cloud of witnesses of the acts of faith. We should be a witness for what God can do. Walk in the Spirit and you will fulfill the desires of the Spirit because we walk by faith and not by sight.

Our purpose is to do God's will and plan. Like the apostle Paul, we will have opposition in our lives while doing God's will. Nevertheless, God will protect us and guide us through our trials as long as we stay in God's will and plan for our lives.

Acts 27

Jesus makes somebodies out of nobodies. What would life be like without love? Jesus is saying, "I care and I love you." God's love for us is that while we were still sinners He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for Us. Just as Jesus is saying, "I care," we should be showing the love of Jesus to others and let them know that we care. In fact, we are all saved because someone else cared.

Pastor Coon shared that just as Christ's commitment was to God, His obedience is to His walk, so our commitment to Jesus is our obedience to our walk. As we follow Jesus, we will have the fullness of Christ, we will deny ourselves, and yield our entire person to our walk. It is an ongoing act of sanctification. Pastor Coon also shared with us the cycle of sin and how we must be vigilant, closing the door to temptations. Finally, Pastor Coon also shared with us the cycle of commitment, that strengthens our relationship with Jesus.

Happiness is tied to our circumstances, but joy is dependent on knowing Jesus. Joy is a by-product of Jesus in our life. Jesus is the source of joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength. In our sorrows we can still have the joy of the Lord. We might not always but happy, but we can always rejoice in the Lord.

Jesus didn't come to earth to do His own will, but to do the will of Him that sent Him, God. The father dwells in Jesus and does God's work. This was the most important thing to Jesus, to do His father's will. If Jesus took God's will so seriously, so should we.

John 6:38
