Jesus Gives

May 4, 2025    Pastor Shibley

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the vivid, transformative gifts Jesus has given us. The central theme revolves around John 17:8 and 17:14, where Jesus speaks of giving us the Father's words. This gift of God's Word is not just information, but a guide that protects and transforms us. We're challenged to open our eyes and truly see the majesty of these gifts, to revel in our privilege as God's children. The message emphasizes that we often live below our spiritual privilege, much like Hetty Green who lived in poverty despite her wealth. As believers, we have limitless spiritual wealth at our disposal - eternal life, peace that passes understanding, and perfect forgiveness. We're encouraged to fall deeper into God's love, even in our struggles, knowing that His love never changes. This message invites us to live in 'full-color Christianity', experiencing the vivid reality of God's gifts in our daily lives.
