The Great I AM

Some quick notes from today's sermon:

The text was John 8:48-59. This is a very confrontational time between the Jews and Jesus. They call Jesus a liar, a terrible accusation. The Jews were confused about who their spiritual father was. They thought that God was their father whereas the devil really was their father. And they didn't understand that God is Jesus' Father.

Pastor C. read an interesting study of the 1200 descendants of Jonathan Edwards vs. the 1200 of 2 nonbelievers. Edwards' descendants were politicians, lawyers, professors, preachers, etc. Hundreds of upright citizens. The nonbelievers' descendants didn't contribute a thing to society but filled prisons and led deliquent lives. Very interesting. "Generations tell the story of who you marry!"

quick notes:
"To look into your Judges face and see your Savior"
"Wake up every morning and say to the Lord, 'Show me how to make you happy today with what I do and say. I want to please you.'"
"Obedience can be achieved if we walk with the Lord and rely on His power."
