Sunday Reflections

Here are some thoughts from Sunday:

• It was week two in our series called The Ghost and we talked about having The Power of The Holy Spirit in your life.
• The power of the Holy Spirit is available to every follower of Jesus not just those we think are the spiritual "elite."
• There was nothing special about the first disciples.  They were ordinary but God did extraordinary things through them! (Acts 4:13)  It was all because they were available.  God isn't looking for the best, brightest people around.  He is looking for people who are available!
• I believe one of my greatest responsibilities as your pastor is to challenge you to never settle for mediocrity.  
• Jesus didn't die on the cross and rise from the dead so we could live safe, ordinary lives.  It is time to lay it all on the line for Him!
• Our hope is limited unless we put it in a limitless God.  Then it overflows! (Romans 15:13)
• The power of the Holy Spirit is accessed through your action. 
• Maybe you never experienced a miracle in your life because you never tried anything that really needed one.
• Many times we want God to do more in our lives, but He is still waiting for you to obey what He has already shown you to do!
• Let this sink in: the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, we have access to every day.
• The power of the Holy Spirit is witnessed through a changed life.
• You can not truly encounter Jesus and remain the same.
• If everyone (served, gave, worshipped, invited, or prayed) just like you, what would our church look like?
• How do you know if the Holy Spirit is in your life? It's simple: there should be a marked difference because of Him!
• We baptized four people at the end of the service and shared a piece of their stories as well.  It was so awesome!
• Mother's Day is going to be special!  We have several great giveaways.  Bring your mom and family to church for a great day!
