God's Everlasting Love
God's Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Supernatural Strength:
How do we find the strength to conquer our weakness?
How do we find the strength to conquer our weakness?
Our natural default is to try to do things on our own. But when trouble comes, whether its relationships, temptation, anxiety, or sin, we realize that we are not strong enough to do it on our own. The spiritual strength we need is found in our Savior. We need His strength for our weakness. How do we find the spiritual strength to conquer our weakness?
Three keys to spiritual strength:
1. Rely on the Holy Spirit
2. Know the love of Jesus
3. Recognize God’s abundant power
1)Rely on the Holy Spirit: To be empowered by the Spirit means that Christ dwells in our hearts. We must fully rely on the power of Holy Spirit to renew our inner self. How do we know if we are relying on the Holy Spirit? We should check the desires and motivations of our heart. Are you faithful to God in the small things? Are you consistent in practicing spiritual disciplines? How do you go about making a difficult decision? Are your future goals something you can accomplish on your own or only with God’s help?
2) Know the Love of Jesus: Love is the foundation of all that we are in Jesus. Great strength is found in the security of Jesus’ love. Do you know how much he loves you? You cannot be a spiritually mature person if you don’t grow in the knowledge of how much you are loved by God.
3) Recognize God’s Abundant Power: God loves to use ordinary people to show His extraordinary power. Normal people who tap into God’s abundant power can do extraordinary things.
Takeaway: God’s power is made perfect in our weakness.
Where do you need God’s power in your life today?
Philip Miller Senior Pastor
PASTOR TO PEOPLE
Today I am pleased to welcome our very own Pastor Michael Best to the pulpit for the last time before he heads off to Morgan Hill Bible Church in the next few weeks. I’m grateful for his love for the Lord and know you’ll be blessed by his teaching of God’s Word this morning.
Krista and I are delighted to be speaking at the Mosaic Community retreat this weekend. Please be praying for us. We’re excited about this chance to get to know some of the families in our church better, and to make important connections for our kids.
Remember, you are loved, more than you know!
Pastor Philip
