2011-09-25-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning September 25th 2011 in the 10:30 service.

Scripture: Acts 20:24; Galatians 1:6-8; 5:7; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Micah 6:8

Topic: Focus

Notes:

- If your cause is not Jesus alone then you have lost your focus- Something will arise to snatch our attention away from Jesus- Your faith is not supposed to be complicated-you’ve lost focus- Happiness is in the grace of God alone; you’re missing the joy of the journey- People get bent out of shape over current events, gays, liberals...- People don’t want what you have; Jesus gives peace and joy- Don’t be satisfied with a little- When first saved there was only one book that mattered; I wanted Jesus, was praying and reading, not looking for another rally or seminar- Christian authors don’t agree with one another- We substitute study for prayer- Authors write but have no experience with people- Most scholars are deficient in prayer; knowledge puffs up, love builds up- It doesn’t really matter when Jesus is coming back: live right and love God- Know Him not so I can prove a point but to live in the power of the resurrection
