2011-10-23-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning October 23rd 2011 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: II Corinthians 3:14; 4:1 I John 3:2-3

Topic: Faithfulness

Notes:

- Ministry referring to gazing at something; gazing upon Jesus- When one believes, a veil is removed; he is free from death, condemnation, etc.- Ministry can be preaching, prison, parenting, etc.- The only obsession we should have is Jesus- I look through a glass darkly, but I trust- When all you do is work you feel bound; stay in the presence of God and be free- We’ll never be free from temptation but that doesn’t make one a sinner- On the day of Pentecost they weren’t begging but waiting- We are changed by what obsesses us; our character is influenced by what has hold of our hearts; what we go after is what we become- Politics keep you agitated and tense
