Three keys while in Prison/ Pandemic 1) form the right partnerships 2 Cor 6:14 - take a list and be careful with the groups in your life - friend groups, church group, home, life, work Holy Spirit, are there partnerships I need to prune or preserve? 2) Pray with passion - when we are moved with passion, God is moved - We are designed to live passionate for something - Passion is enthusiasm and endurance Do I need to peruse greater enthusiasm in my prayer life or greater endurance? - if you’re not praying, you’re losing heart. 3) Let perseverance work Rom 3:5 Holy Spirit, are you trying Ron change or my circumstances? Paul didn’t pray for God to change his circumstance. The gospel was being passed along. … Expand

Bridge Students. Brian Gangwish How do I know I’m saved? 1. You hate your sin. Hate winning against the holy God - if we are saved, why do we still continue to sin? A. Sin is fun. B. We don’t truly understand who we sin against C. It’s us not believing the Gospel. We reject the Gospel - When we sin we bow at the seat of Satan. Satan can only give us death. Jesus gives us life abundantly 2. You realize you can never save yourself We need the faith from God to believe. We are dead people. God chose us. It’s not about how great my sin is, it’s about how great HIS love is. 3. You treasure Christ Jesus is the gift of God. … Expand

Self reliance “I don’t need you” - Pride will say I’m always right. Keep people away 2. Critical Spirit “I’m better than you” - comparison and insecurities both have their root in pride 3. Superior Spirituality “I’m good enough” -Pharisee saw himself as the gift to God, not a gift from God Ancient times only women would beat their breast in a time of mourning. Men would not.

Pastor Brandon We have the opportunity for supernatural satisfaction 1. We are made for friendship with God. The enemy is scheming against that. Are we friends with God? (Adam & Eve) 2. We have the opposition of a supernatural being 6:11-12 - Satan wants to steer our hearts away from the presence of God. he will use our natural occurrences to place lies in our head. God is proud of us. He sees the finished work Jesus died on the cross for. 3. We have the obligation to understand this supernatural victory. 6:13-18 - winning is not our responsibility. God has done that already We put on the armor that isn’t ours to remember that He already won the battle we didn’t have to fight. … Expand
