Pastor Tom Clinkscale

<p>A disciple who believes Jesus' promise and holds onto the word of Jesus will never experience death but eternal life.<br></p>

<p>What we gain by the resurrection of Christ so far outstrips anything we may endure for the sake of Christ, that disappointment in the Christian life should be alien to our experience.<br></p>

<p>Jesus came to be God's peace and we can accept His offer of peace or miss it and experience great loss.<br></p>

<p>Those who see, enjoy, and experience the most from Christ are the ones who flee the darkness and run to the light!<br></p>

<p>Follow the Good Shepherd and He will lead you out of darkness and into the safety of His care and the sustenance of His leading.<br></p>

<p>Jesus confronts our unbelief and shows us what it is and calls those in unbelief to believe in Him.<br></p>

<p>Our belief in Jesus grows stronger when we let His plan to love us and to glorify the Father and Himself be the plan we follow and not let our feelings define truth and lead us to determine plans that are not for His glory by our shortsighted idea of what is best.<br></p>

<p>Do our lives show a true belief, not just in what Christ has done, but truly in Him and who He is as the resurrection and the life?<br></p>

<p>Jesus teaches us, in how He was being moved deeply, how we are to live experiencing and expressing our emotions for God's glory and ourselves and others good.<br></p>

<p>We must give expression to our spiritual life and daily life by being dependent and driven by one thing, love.<br></p>
