Summary

What do you believe about Jesus? Do you know Him as your Savior? Do you know Him as a healer? Do you know Him as someone who baptizes in the Spirit? Do you know Him as a deliverer? Do you know Him as a restorer of dreams? Do you know Him as Lord—or do you still dictate policy to Him? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how being "lost" extends beyond those who don't know the Lord—it also applies to Christ-followers who don't know Him fully, losing or forfeiting the opportunities of their faith, due to their own choices and resistance. Our strength, power, and direction come from diligently seeking God, drawing close to Him, listening to Him, and following Him.

Now it's on to Pastor Allen. Be blessed. We've been working through a series

around the idea of the power to be different and the fundamentals

1:05.0

of that are really twofold. We have to have a demonstration of the power of

1:08.9

God, not just a presentation of the idea of God. I think for too long we've imagined that Christianity

1:15.7

was principally an intellectual exercise and whether it was stated or just implied we were going

1:22.2

to outthink evil.

1:24.0

Or maybe we were going to out organize or at work,

1:27.0

but the reality is we need a power from beyond ourselves.

1:30.0

Ultimately, evil will yield to nothing other than a power greater than itself.

And please don't be confused.
