Pastor Tom Clinkscale

<p>Jesus' salvation satisfies with a fountainhead of living water for all who are thirsty and believe in Him knowing that fullness of joy is in sharing it with others.<br></p>

<p>Thanks will continually flow from our hearts when we see our lives as fully under His sovereign care and His provision of Salvation in Jesus as sufficient to live it in obedience to His will.<br></p>

<p>Only Jesus (God) has the authority to cleanse us from sin and tells us to go and follow Him and sin no more.<br></p>

<p>We must believe and trust that Jesus gives to us a trustworthy witness to the fact, He arrived here from Heaven and His Father and departed back and asks all of us to follow Him back to heaven and the Father where He came from.<br></p>

<p>Being a real disciple is more than believing in Jesus words but living in the word and its influence which gives our lives the rest for which everyone longs.<br></p>

<p>Christmas is a time of peace delivered by God, and our lives are to be marked by joy in His coming.<br></p>

<p>Baptism is a Christian's public witness to the world of their covenant commitment of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and is the initial covenant oath sign initiating them into a local church which is a Kingdom of God embassy that represents how life in the Kingdom of God is to be lived in and before the world.<br></p>

<p>Our prayers play a part in preparing us to be received by Christ into His eternal kingdom at His second coming.<br></p>

<p>Praying with undivided hearts is a struggle to achieve, requiring us to order our minds, get our attitudes on track, and be continually exercising in prayer.<br></p>

<p>Jesus is teaching His disciples that over the long-haul God will work in us, giving us the desire to hold to his Word as containers of it, giving the ability to see Christ in it as the truth and giver of truth, giving us the freedom that comes from it.<br></p>
