I really like two of the facebook status updates from my friends that I read this morning.
"I have always had the power"
"Ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are for"
Made for great launching points in my thought processes this morning. There is more power available to us today than we realize. In electronics, power is the product of potential (Voltage)and movement (Current). Getting the electrons to move is the key. In a sense we are like electrons in that circuit. We need to be moving for the potential to be of any value. You have the power to be free today.
"Once like a bird in prison I dwelt, no freedom from my sorrow I felt
But Jesus came and listened to me, glory to God, He set me free!
He set me free, yes, He set me free, He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see, glory to God, He set me free!
Now it's good bye to sin and the things that confound, naught of this world shall turn me around
Daily I'm working, I'm praying too, glory to God I'm going through!
He set me free, yes, He set me free, He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see, glory to God, He set me free!"

Kingdom Characteristics
My sermon yesterday focused on three characteristic of the Kingdom of God.
Mercy- which is at the heart of us being able to even have a relationship with God.
Service- when it is done in humility gives credit to God instead of us.
Power- which is ours when we have the correct motives in our service.
Here are the foundation scriptures to the message:
Psalm 119:89-93 89 Your eternal word, O LORD, stands firm in heaven. 90 Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. 91 Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans. 92 If your instructions hadn't sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. 93 I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life.
John 1:1-4 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.
A song:
Wonderful Merciful Saviour
Precious redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
Oh rescue the souls of men
You are the one that we love
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for
Oh our hearts always hunger for.
