Many people don’t know what it to be filled with the Spirit and of those who are filled with the spirit, even fewer understand what it means to walk in the spirit.

Many people who are committed to long term goals, face moments of doubt and despair… this is even true of devoted Christians. Today, we are going to discuss some moments of truth we face from time to time and the effective results that are possible.

What does it mean to walk with Jesus Christ? To walk with Jesus is the most exciting thing that anyone can possibly do… where will the Lord take you?

The details within these parables of Jesus, reveal much more than we could ever imagine. The clarity and direction oftered to us is truly refreshing and yet simple at the same time. The indwelling power of the Spirit is able to open up much of this wisdom and wonderfully reveal, vital and marvellous truths. Many Christians waste their lives trying to find righteousness by avoiding sin... they are doomed to fail, because they miss the mark... ALL SIN CANNOT BE AVOIDED... nor do they have the correct motivation. The worst mistake you can make as a Christian in not based on sins you have committed, but upon your failure to do the will of God.

The parable of the talents is one of a trilogy in Matthew 25, expounding on responsibility and judgment. This parable reveals that the amount of talents you have is not the issue, but it’s how you use what you have! It is important to learn the lesson of this parable because the person who did not use his ability was lost forever.

When we talk about the love of God, many feel safe and secure in the mercy, forgiveness and grace that is far above human capacity. God is bigger than us and his positive attributes leave us lacking... we spend most of our lives learning how to love and think like Christ. The trouble with this is that we often can miss why he has shown his love towards us... we focus on his love, but often miss why he has revealed it to us. We have been filled with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate God’s love, not just feed on it. God’s love goes far beyond his care for us... he also cares for the rest of the world and wants us to do our bit in sharing the gospel with the unsaved as well. When we miss the second part of God’s love we also miss the overcoming nature of our existence... we also miss a lot of blessing and can feel unfulfilled.

Talk Notes : "The door was opened to overcoming death... we were given an opportunity to live a life filled with God’s blessing and of life giving resources... God gave us the powers to ensure our survival."

Talk Notes : "There are three ways that faith is built... the first is through prayer... the second is through reading and hearing God’s word... the third is through doing the things which God has recommended. We overcome our mortality as we apply all three"

Talk Notes : "Numerous churches are responding to contemporary values by offering more style than substance... congregations are being offered ‘feel good’ ministry rather than ‘do good’ ministry.

Talk Notes : "Life starts with expectations and dreams of great things. However, time reveals that many hopes cannot be achieved....This is a great time to introduce the Gospel of Jesus Christ... he promises success for all those who faithfully follow him"
