Scripture: John 1:1-5; 17:21-23

Topic: Focus

Notes:- Fads in the church: back masking (to prove Satan is in the music industry), angels (Charles & Francis claimed Gabriel set up headquarters in their home), y2k, cursed items in your home (devil can’t live in my home-sanctified by believers within)- Focus to be on Jesus; am I into something that distracts me, in spiritual ignorance- In Him are hidden all treasures; so simple a child can understand- Do I have to choose between Jesus and fun, interests, hobbies... no. He chose me and I am in Him. We do everything together.- Christ walks with you even through weaknesses and sin- Will not get to place we do not sin, but to the place that when we do we turn back to Him in repentance; it does no good to make resolutions- God is better than you’ve been taught; get your mind off you

Scripture: Ephesians 5:1-2, 21, 25; Genesis 2:8, 15; 3:1-3, 15, 21; Revelation 2:1-7

Topic: Love

Notes:- The full comprehension of love is only possible by those who know Jesus- Adam in the garden put in the role of leadership/headship- The kindness of God gave everything to them except the fruit from one tree- A man leaving father and mother... is not physical or relational but positional. The welfare of the wife becomes the man’s priority. One man, one woman forever- Eve’s conversation with the serpent... listened to a voice to doubt the goodness of God- Adam blamed Eve (and God); Eve blamed serpent... story of planting Christmas tree without a root ball. We need to take responsibility for our own actions- There are consequences to sin but Jesus gave us hope- The sacrifice of an animal to cover man; Jesus’ sacrifice to cover sin- The life outside of Eden is not the life God intended for us- Eden was not destroyed; eternal life is to be restored- Eve means “giver of life”- There is power in the Spirit. Spirit filled people sing, are thankful, submit and love others more than themselves- Christ loves us, wants our love and for everything we do to be motivated by love

Scripture: John 6:6

Topic: Hope

Notes:- God already knows what He’s going to do; not waiting for you to pray, fast, or quote His word back to Him- He already decided the outcome; is waiting for your reaction- You can cry, fret and fear and it won’t change anything but your health- God already has victory; He will not hand you a defeat

Scripture: Revelation 3:20; Mark 15:38; Hebrews 13:8

Topic: Jesus the Son

Notes:- When we get to a simple understanding of who Jesus is instead of focusing on all He’s done, we can have a better relationship with Him- If anyone opens the door to Him, He will come- He removed the barrier (tore the veil) that separated us; He wants to fellowship- Religion separates us from Jesus; story of student missing chapel, getting demerit- Mormons, Muslims, etc. in bondage rather than discipline- Serve the Lord with gladness, not out of bondage; He came to serve me- Religion tries to stitch the curtain back together; Satan founded religion- Before you get into Bible study, deep prayer... let’s eat; stop trying to impress- Jesus loved and cared for people closely, not repulsed by- Repentance is not beating oneself down... I’m sorry and go on; taking up cross is not self-hatred; humility is not self-loathing; brokenness not a deflated existence- You won’t let Him in because the house is dirty; example of organizing closet- Don’t let the mess keep you from opening the door; the mess doesn’t bother Him

Scripture: I Peter 5:6-9

Topic: Spiritual WarfareNotes:- Pornography in the church; families falling apart- Our enemy is not flesh and blood but people are being used; spirit of lust taking over- No conviction anymore. We think “He’ll forgive” instead of fighting the good fight- The Church is intact; the blood of Jesus still has the power- Take up your cross and fight in the power of the Holy Spirit- The devil highlights the negative but Jesus is still greater- The difference in surrendering and giving up; surrender to Jesus and cast your cares...- Wake up. Kids are inquisitive. Your kids may be good but still have the sin nature- Make the decision... this home is a holy place. Be vigilant- The adversary is roaming, seeking someone he may devour... week, tired, sick...- Depression is a sickness. Sin messed up the whole body- We’re guilty of having our own revival while looking down on others- The Devil can only work where he has permission- Stay on your knees, in the Bible and in fellowship- Resist the devil in the faith (in Jesus); Jesus has given you all you need
