101017-1800-Loran Livingston - Abound in Love

2010-10-17-1800 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this evening October 17th, 2010 in the 6:00 service. Scripture: I Thessalonians 4:9-12 Topic: Forgiveness Notes: - We are a melting pot of people; each seeing from his own perspective- You are out of God’s will when you live in unforgiveness- If I don’t forgive, I will not be forgiven- Don’t call yourself “Reverend” if you aren’t proclaiming the gospel- Unforgiveness affects everything else- Satan is looking for a crevice to plant something among us (choir members in competition, resentment, hostility trying to worship... leads to hypocrisy and spiritual duplicity. Prayers fall to the ground)- Don’t evaluate life by this moment or make a decision when tired- If you want the peace of God you must abound in love more & more- We are offensive people. It is human nature. Be smarter than the devil by living on our knees.- Display forgiveness as a testimony that God is living inside- You are never justified to hate or live in anger- Some people always in a fight because unforgiveness has taken root- Forgiveness will get your peace back... maybe not your money, position or reputation- Love never fails; forgiveness always wins

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 3 Topic: Suffering Notes: - A pastor can only do what he’s called if his wife is called as well- Paul sent Timothy to encourage because he could not go himself- Trials are a part of the faith; troubles strengthen faith- Paul feared that the people would fail; struggled with doubt- Everyone’s faith has a gap (i.e. divine healing).- We don’t trust God to carry our burdens, take care of our problems- The more we interact with believers and hear the Word, the more the gaps are filled- People feel obligated to explain God; we can’t understand God- Don’t try to explain but proclaim Him- Trials weed out hypocrites, qualify us to help others, produce patience, make you live better and tell people about Jesus- A trial is not something happening to you but God working in you- Daniel and the fiery furnace... went in bound up, walked around inside liberated. Start talking to Jesus and fire loses its heat- When you listen to Jesus, it’s not a trial anymore but a triumph- God is with us in the midst of trial; do not sorrow... Suffering
