Sermon Focus Points
► The Lord works within people where ever they are, and is not limited to one nation.
► We should step out in faith, knowing that the Lord has prepared a way for us.
► The Lord has given us strong leaders who have shared their testimonies, and we should look to understand how those testimonies have offered a blessing to us.
► God has commanded us to be of one heart and one mind. A big part of this is to share out true self with others, and not build walls that separate us.
► Part of sharing with others often require us to be vulnerable. At those times, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to comfort us, and give us peace.
► Sexual sin is a overwhelming problem in our world. We must repent of our sexual sins, not only for the benefit of ourselves, but for the benefit of those we may have hurt.
► Fear and anger do not come from God.
► God’s love is manifested through faith, peace and love for others.
► God loves us so much that he gave his only begotten son to be sacrificed on the cross, and only wants the best for us.
► We need to learn to trust in God, and obey God in all things.
► There is nothing more terrifying than trying to share something that you think everyone else will think how disgusting that it is.
► We need to become a people who make it safe for other people to share.
