What would you not give up?- Dr. Conn defined himself with education... the opportunity to cheat was the defining moment. Choices/Decisions

Topic: Faithfulness

Notes:- Wherever there is trouble the Lord is; your troubles not too big- Do not keep looking at the circumstances. "Whatever we ask..."- The driving desire of my life is to please God yet I fall short; it's not my righteousness but His. Holy Spirit prays through me- You cannot be any closer to God than you are to people- It's not impossible because he's in charge of every situation- He didn't call us to understand but to have confidence in Him- God already has a resolution... already sees the end.- People looking to the future; the past is gone.- Your worrying is in vain and steals the Joy of the Lord from you- When you ask God and His glory is the reason and the benefit is for someone else, God has taken care of it- He just wants you to recognize, acknowledge and praise Him Faithfulness

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2

Topic: Endurance

Notes:-- Story about jogging with grapes in mouth... athletic binges.- We are to run the race with endurance; others will trip you up- When you fall, get up again; don't blame those who trip you- Our only example should be Jesus- There is no easy way, secret or shortcut: trust, serve and obey- We see Jesus through lenses: Calvinism, Arminianism, Pentecostal- Some get caught up in structure, timing, history of the Bible and miss the life revealed in it.- Our life comes from Jesus; Bible only makes Jesus real- In a race it's only you. Make your load light; stare at Jesus only- Thank God for every situation; for the people who bring you pain and for the good He does in your life because of them- Release people from the pain they've caused you... forgiveness (read letter he'd written to someone who'd wronged him)- We all have family situations... people problems; lay them at the feet of Jesus Endurance

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2; Romans 6:11-14

Topic: Sin

Notes:- Stationary I-beam; criminal carried cross the cross beam- Jesus' crucifixion was the greatest insult... act of rebellion- Sin started when Lucifer rebelled, started the kingdom of I (self)- Jesus crossed out the kingdom of I; cross became the center...- The cross is the plan of God- Because of sin, God turned His back on Jesus; because of righteousness, the world turned their backs on Jesus- Hall of faith: their sins unmentioned in N.T... focus on their faith- You will fall but He will forgive you; when we sin we run to God- Sin defeated but it is not dead, has the power to deceive- Military police have authority over military but not over citizens just as sin has no authority over the saved- We have the power to evaluate sin and choose not to indulge- Lions cannot defeat flies; we are conquerors but cannot be rid of sin- Backsliding, legalism. We cannot make people holy with rules- We are made a new creation when we look to the cross of Jesus
