Topic: Faith

Notes:

- Stories: ice cream cone/seatbelt, broken arm in golf cart, pants zipper...- There are no stars in the Kingdom... ordinary people that God touches in extraordinary ways to do things for His kingdom- The first miracle Jesus performed was to save someone social embarrassment- God created you to live a life that you could trust Him- Wedding ceremony was the highlight- Mary told them do what Jesus tells you; you don’t know what He’ll tell you to do- When I call on Him and obey, the results amaze me- God is not like a father, but is a father.  Don’t measure God by earthly father...- We live in fear that God will one day snap and visit us in terror- Our natural everyday human emotions skew our view of the Father- God does not have to be appeased... just trust Him; He came to save not condemn- You look for relief but He wants to give you an answer- It’s not about keeping rules but about trusting- God’s not going to override His requirements because you’ve worshipped- Do what He tells you to do; you will not be ashamed at the results
