Word of Life Family Church

If someone was on your property, it would be normal to investigate and find out what and why they are there. Boundaries are a normal part of life.

Are there boundaries in where and what we get our beliefs from? Many have chosen their personal opinions based on their experiences in life to make up their beliefs.

• We need to know God’s Word!

• Life experience might be contrary to the Word.

• Jesus’ stand was always based on the Word of God - “It is written.”

One of the primary ministries of the Holy Spirit is that He reveals truth.

We all have borders or boundaries to protect and keep unwanted things out.

We don't pay much attention to who drives by on the road, but when they cross the soft boundary of our driveway we notice. If they cross the hard boundary of our front door without our permission it might not be welcomed.

Who is roaming around your kingdom? What do you want working in your kingdom?

Jesus promised the disciples that "Another" would come after He departs. The Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost and He is still here on the earth working in and through believers of Jesus Christ.

Jonah fled from the presence of the Lord and it brought trouble to people. If we are running from what God is wanting to do in us we have a tendency to bring trouble to people. Obey the Lord - it brings a blessing to the people.

The HS wants to work in our lives in a base like level. Helping us to personally grow and change.Pastor encourages us to give more time to the HS to work in our lives. Pastor reminds us that the HS wants to move every where we go, through us in our marriage, our family, our friendships, ect. The HS is our teacher helping us. The HS also reminds us of Jesus and His word. The HS testifies of Jesus, and the HS exposes and corrects things. "The HS our helper."

In considering the greatness of God's creation, we can get lost and feel small. But God sent His son to redeem us. It is a big deal Jesus came the first time and those who believe and received that work of grace are being changed. The Son of God will come again - soon. And those who believe that will live differently - beyond themselves and their own wants.

In this series we are talking about growing, about being free, about being free and about being changed by God. Psalms 118: 8 says it is better to trust in the Lord, than to put our confidence in men. Pastor reminded us that is it better to work with God, than to wait for God to come work with us. Also we need to be better at doing our part, so that God can do His part. Thank God, He gave us the Holy Ghost to help us to do life better.

This is not a self help series. The kingdom of God is about growth. God causes the seed of His word to produce growth and change. This isn't about becoming better, so that God excepts us. NO, No, No. The truth is we need help Heb. 13:5 says, The Lord is my helper. Jesus is talking to Peter and is says; you have to get better, so that you can do better. Pastor reminds us that God can't do anything he wants in our lives. We have to be willing to let Him work in us and through us. In closing our lives should reflect that of our heavenly father.
