120812-0830-Loran Livingston - The Foundation

2012-08-12-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning August 12th 2012 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: John 20:19-23; 13:7

Topic: The Church

Notes:- The church is the people... anyone who believes in Jesus- Jesus came to the Jews and was rejected; the Holy Spirit came to continue the work- The people Jesus chose as the foundation of the church were doubting people, not brilliant or dependable; the apostles were the foundation and Jesus the cornerstone- Righteousness is a gift from God that cannot be earned- You are saved by accepting the gift, not temporarily but eternally- Being filled with the spirit is not shouting, running and screaming... but peace... not animation... everyone reacts differently. He enables you to get up and keep going.- When others are trying to figure out where the feeling is, you can know where your faith is.- Learn to forgive or there will be no power in your prayer- When Jesus wasn’t with them, the disciples didn’t know what to do... they got discouraged as we do today... haven’t been to a good service in a while...- You don’t have to go anywhere in particular to find revival or power- We get discouraged by personal failure.  The closer to God you move, the more aware of your sin you become- Jesus didn’t call them to fight for Him but to be faithful to Him- They forgot His teaching and the joy... joy is coming.
