Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church
Whiny widows & the Word of God
Acts 6
If Jesus wasn't met with love, then of course becoming a Christian after His death would cause you to think that you would not be met with love either.
When your joy is based on something that can't be taken away - the church pure is the church powerful.
Proverbs 20:30 - pain is the most effective way God uses to clean out our lives.
The times of suffering are typically where we see the most growth.
God uses those times to really mold our character.
In chapter 2 God was adding to the church.
In chapter 5 He was removing hypocrisy from the church.
Now we see Him multiplying!
Pruning is a painful thing when God does it with our lives.
But! He subtracts so that we can BEAR MORE FRUIT!
Not all growth is good.
God is the God of customized plans!
Whatever your spiritual gift is - let it not cost nothing.
Take time to get rid of distractions.
The body of Christ is just like the human body.
We as the Christian body all bring different "talents, gifts, etc."
Just as the human body has all different parts (we're not all eyes).
Anytime you ask God to use you, there's a bullseye on your back...you will experience suffering.
Stephen was a man who was faithful in the small things.
