be convinced


Non negotiables … there some things that I just believe about God.  When we are convinced, we will be more convincing.  When we know who holds us, we will have more peace that we have ever had before.


Let’s talk about some of those truths.  Each tells us about God, how He deals with us and how we can trust His working in our lives. What a great way to start the week.  


Believe and watch how God works!


John 10:4  NLT  

After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. 


Follow the voice that you know.  The people who get to know God and recognize His voice are confidently following because each is convinced of who He is.


Philippians 4:6-7  NLT  

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.


So many things in these verses (as we discussed earlier in June).  But the biggest piece is the peace that God promises and how that peace holds the deepest and most important things in our lives.  Peace is a valuable asset.


Romans 4:6  NLT  

David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:


Those who don’t work for righteousness can enjoy what God has given.  But those who try to work for it or those who think they can work for it are often disappointed.


Deuteronomy 31:8  NLT  

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”


Love this.  He is with us and always.  He is going no where.


Romans 8:37  NLT  

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.


I will close here.  Our God gives us victory.  It is lasting victory that will is promised for those who follow because they are convinced.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
