Strength for the Weary “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” - Romans 8:9 NKJV Some of us come into the Christian life wearing a 60 pound backpack. We are wanting to walk, we are needing to walk, but we are unable to walk because we are weighed down by the heavy load of darkness.

The spirit can be in us, and we can know very little of his power and influence. T

A Change Worth Noticing “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” - Matthew 6:13 NKJV When the disciples were learning to pray this prayer, they were looking for their kingdom to be established at that moment. They wanted the kingdom to come because Jesus had said that with the kingdom would come power. The disciples thought he was going to give them earthly and political power a

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” - Matthew 6:10 NKJV The only way the believer will ever advance the kingdom of God is by the power of the Holy Spirit that resides in us as God followers.

He wants to empower us to accomplish God’s kingdom age

The Door That Leads to Life “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” - John 10:9 NKJV Here Jesus is describing a new way of relating to God that people could experience.

Jesus offers real forgiveness, authentic love and grace rather than shame and condemnation. As John states in John 3:17 “for God did not send his Son int

Nourished to Nourish If Jesus said “I am the bread of life” then should we not nourish others through our contribution. “And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” - John 6:35 NKJV As believers, we should always be serving as Jesus served because we know what we have to offer.
