2008-05-25-1830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening May 25th, 2008 in the 6:30 service. Scripture Ref: II Corinthians 5:16-21; Judges 6:11-16; John 20, 21Topic: PurposeNotes:- Believer's complex: How can God love me?- God has a plan for your life in spite of you- Jesus saves sinners, gives us His righteousness- God saw something in Gideon though Gideon felt inferior- Christians wrestle with depression. No need to keep up an image- Jesus does more in our weakness than in our strength- I understand God less, trust Him more- Want to be spiritual warrior?  Start with forgiving your enemies- Thomas, Peter … Jesus didn't chastise for their failures- All you need is Jesus, man at the pool was looking for a man- Don’t need to follow some evangelist.  Pastors trying to mimic other preachers … ideas for church growth- False prophets say what people want to hear- If you're looking for more than Jesus, you’ve never met Jesus- Tongues are initial evidence of baptism of holy spirit … sets on fire, gives boldness to speak the Word of God- Your whole life will change when you receive the Holy Spirit- You will be judged according to what He has called you to do
