Normally I take some time out on Monday to recap the events from Sunday.  Well, to be honest, I was just lazy and worn out from our Katalyst Retreat.  I couldn’t have put it any better than Kevin did here.  Here’s some notes I took from service on Sunday:

• How can you KNOW that you are saved?
• God wants you to know!  1 John 5:13
• Kevin was a “Jock-strap-hander-outer”
• We tend to do whatever it takes to reach “OUR” goals.
• There are so many people when asked if they are going to heaven respond with “I hope so.”  I just am not willing to secure my eternity on a hope.
• God loves me when I suck!  (add that’s pretty often)
• In our times of strife, depression, and struggle satan likes to hit us with questions like:
  • Where is God now?
  • How do you know there is a God?
  • Every religion has a book.  The bible is just campfire stories and myths.
  • Everybody in any religion has faith!  Muslims have faith.
• Jesus was confronted by satan while walking through a desert and not eating for 40 days.  Jesus stood strong, and satan eventually left him alone.  Matthew 4:10-11
• Nobody has “always” been a Christian.  We were born sinners!
• Salvation isn’t about a feeling.  If it was, we’d just show Lifetime movies every Sunday!  We’d get every woman in Conway saved!
• Some things I’m willing to die for, a lie is not one of them.
• Admit – you are a sinner, Jesus is not a self help book, you suck at running your own life.
• Believe – He has all the strength you need, none of us have enough “us” strength to live it out, Jesus died to cover our sins.
• Commit – Give your life to Him, No change = No Jesus.
