To  have a responsive heart to the Word, we must open our ears, control our tongue, and control our emotions. Remove the filth, welcome the Word, and take action.

Remember that God is perfectly good, He never changes, and He chooses us.

God will test us, but He does not tempt us. Temptation is not sin, but it exposes our sinful nature. Testing is difficult, but can be a path to greater joy.

Our God redeems the now and rules the future. Being the blessed now; receiving the crown of life in the future; confidence in the 'Rewarder'. You can experience strength for today and a bright hope for tomorrow through the rewards that God gives.

Bragging Right

True wisdom comes from God alone and comes as guidance and counsel on how to react in difficult situations.

You are holy - positionally, experientially, and eternally.

We can pass the tough tests of life with pure joy and strong perseverance because of the goodness of Jesus Christ.

Kicking off a new year: Read James. Pray for wisdom and depend on the Holy Spirit. Identify and use your spiritual gifts. Volunteer. Find and meet a specific need in your community. Activate your small group. Give generously.

When God calls you to it, He will equip you to do it. The Holy Spirit moves in unexpected ways. The Holy Spirit brings unity.

You can grow in hearing and knowing the Holy Spirit's voice.

What are the gifts described in the Bible and what are their purpose?

The Holy Spirit is our guide into the truth that makes us spiritually alive.

It's not about what you know; it's about who you know. If you lack wisdom, ask the Holy Spirit. Pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal truth.

The conviction work of the Holy Spirit has a three-fold approach: sin, righteousness and,   judgment.

The Fruit of the Spirit is horizontal in expression due to our vertical connection with God. Lack of fruit; counterfeit fruit.

Jesus models the Holy Spirit's ministry. Learn to say YES to the prompts of the Spirit. Understand how we may be saying NO to the prompts of the Holy Spirit. How do I receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit in my life?

The Holy Spirit is truthful in an age of deception, good in an age of sadness and personal in a detached world.

Believe and receive the promise.

The people we surround ourselves with has a huge impact on the quality and direction of our life.
