A Serving Heart

A Trusting Moment

Christ-Like Love

Failure Isn't Final
| John 21:1-23 | We don't like to admit to failure yet it is part of our day to day lives. Jesus
confronts and deals with failure in our lives. It seems that Peter only opened his
mouth to change feet! He went from follower to failure in moments. Jesus had unfinished
business with Peter after he had denied Jesus three times. | 2008-01-01 |

The Inside Prosecutor
| John 16:8-11 | Jesus has already mentioned that he is going to away. To help their concern he tells
them about how the Holy Spirit will come to comfort them. This blessing only comes
if Jesus leaves. Why is so important? The Holy Spirit will convict the world of
sin, righteousness and judgment. See Acts 2:36-37. The Holy Spirit is the inside prosecutor.
He comes to convict us of our sins. No person can get to heaven without being convicted.
Heaven will be full of convicts! | 2005-11-06 |
|
The Man Behind The Mask

The Only Guide You Need
| John 16:12-15 | The Christian has "Spirit guidance". It is the Holy Spirit. The word guide in this
verse has the meaning of leading a blind person. The Holy Spirit will lead every
step of the way. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. See Romans 8:14.
The Holy Spirit pulls you in the direction of truth. He is the only guide you need
as a child of God. | 2005-11-15 |

The Power Of A Personal Relationship With God

Thinking And Acting
| John 1:1-3 | In this world there is little thought about things that really matter. We are being
bombarded by the media. (E.g. TV and newspapers) We are being driven by our emotions.
We surf with the latest big wave. The Christian is not to go with the flow. We need
to engage our minds. It is easier to go with the flow - it requires less thought
and conviction. | 2008-01-01 |

When God Is Silent
