2011-09-25-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning September 25th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Acts 20:24; Galatians
1:6-8; 5:7; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Micah 6:8
Topic: Focus
Notes:
- If your cause is not Jesus alone then you have lost your
focus
- Something will arise to snatch our attention away from Jesus
- Your faith is not supposed to be complicated-you’ve lost
focus
- Happiness is in the grace of God alone; you’re missing the joy of
the journey
- People get bent out of shape over current events, gays,
liberals...
- People don’t want what you have; Jesus gives peace and joy
- Don’t be satisfied with a little
- When first saved there was only one book that mattered; I wanted
Jesus, was praying and reading, not looking for another rally or
seminar
- Christian authors don’t agree with one another
- We substitute study for prayer
- Authors write but have no experience with people
- Most scholars are deficient in prayer; knowledge puffs up, love
builds up
- It doesn’t really matter when Jesus is coming back: live right
and love God
- Know Him not so I can prove a point but to live in the power of
the resurrection
