Helping each other know & follow Jesus in our home, city, and world.

Join us Sundays @ 10:30 AM

Text: Matthew 13:44
 
One of the cardinal rules of writing online is to never use all capital letters in a post or message. But I feel the following truth is so important that I'm going to break this "rule."
IF YOU ARE A TRUE BELIEVER, YOU LIFE WILL BE A CONSTANT TUG-OF-WAR BATTLE WITH GOD BECAUSE HIS HOLY SPIRIT LIVES WITHIN YOU AND IS GUIDING YOU INTO GOD’S WILL.  YOUR FLESH FIGHTS GOD'S WILL THROUGH SELFISHNESS.
 
The Holy Spirit manifests Himself in us by having us live in ways we couldn’t possibly live on our own, including filling our lives with love, joy, and peace (Galatians 5:22–23). Love, joy, and peace are all results of the Holy Spirit working in the life of a believer and it will spill over into our relationships with people. 

When you act and react in selfless ways, pause and praise God because His grace has visited you! Your behavior is simply not natural for a sinner.

Peace is found by allowing the Holy Spirit to control us more and more as we grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus and His Word.
 
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

If Jesus is your only hope, in death and in life, liquidating your life and follow Him seems like a sensible response.  The journey won't be easy but He will give you peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7)!

He came for you! Will you pursue Him?
