John 5:1-18 We each need to realize that God is God and He can do whatever He pleases. We have to stop trying to do things "our way" and focus on His words. He requires obedience. We take encouragement in the fact that God loves to work in situations that seem hopeless.

John-4:43-54 - We learn that time and space are no barrier to God. He restores through His Word and our obedience. We need to have our faith and confidence in His Word and respond properly.

Romans 13:1-7 God has established authority in all of our lives. Some of those authorities are good and some are bad, but all can accomplish God's purpose in our life. We have to respond properly by learning to submit and honor. We keep in proper perspective the things that belong to God and the things that belong to man, but we must respond in the way God commands.

John 2:1-11 - We each need to realize that God can change and transform our lives. We need to be obedient and learn to trust Him. We must learn to allow Him to work out His plan in His time in our lives. We should never forget that the best is yet to come.

They can always count on you.

Proverbs 22:28 - Landmarks, stones, and memorials are established so we can remember and honor the past, teach lessons to our kids in the present, and establish traditions for the future. Take some time this week to remember the people in your past who touched your life.

We are challenged to grow in our relationship to God. That will involve allowing Him to speak to you through His word and responding in your actions. Develop your prayer life this week to be more than a list of requests. Make your prayers this week more about God and less about you. 1 Peter 2:1-3 / Luke 11:2-4

God wants you to understand that God cares for you as an Eagle does its young. The things He does for you is for your ultimate good. His desire is for you to learn to soar, not stay in the nest.

1 John 5:10-12 It is the desire of God that you would trust Him for the best way to live life. As a believer please understand that God desires the best for your life this week. In order to experience His best, you have to allow him to have control of your life.

John writes so that we can be assured of our relationship with God. He wants us to realize what God has done in our salvation. He desires for us to have the best life possible. He wants the world to see Christ in all that we say and do this week.

Matthew 27:45 - 28:8 = It is my desire and prayer that everyone understand the significance of the Easter Story. For those of you that prayed with me during this message, please let someone know so they can rejoice and encourage you in the days ahead. For those of you who are believers, the resurrected saints had to tell people about what happened. How about us doing the same thing this week?

John reminds us that we can have confidence in our prayer life. We can come boldly into His presence and ask whatever is important to our hearts and lives. If we are living obediently and according to His will, He hears us and always answers according to His timing and plans.

John wants to move the Christian from doubt to certainty. He gives us the assurance that we can live this day living life to the fullest. We can rest our heads tonight knowing – absent from this life present with God.

John wants us to have the assurance of our salvation. He also wants us to understand that Real faith is based on belief (truth) and love which produces a life of obedience and victory.

John wants us to realize that love originates from God. God set the example and gives us the power to love in the same way. He demands that if we are going to call ourselves believers, we show love to those around us.

John writes to encourage us to be careful as believers. He wants us to follow God and not be lead astray by the error of the enemy. Learn to practice discernment and be able to spot the counterfeit teachings that come in our culture.
