100227-0830-Loran Livingston - Overcome or Be Overcome

2011-02-27-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning February 27th, 2011 in the 8:30 service. Scripture: Romans 12:21; Daniel 7:21, 25 Topic: Family Notes: - Don’t be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good- Heaven is for overcomers; the enemy is relentless in his attacks against us- Each letter to the 7 churches in Revelation contained a promise to overcomers- We are all attacked or enticed sometimes.  The church enticed to live loose lives... lasciviousness, living free... the sexually immoral can not go to heaven- Satan will wear out the saints; we are supposed to be victorious conquerors- Nothing wears out the saints like family problems- You can’t be honest with family members so you have to endure, dodge issues- Parents are often blind to or overlook their children’s weaknesses and mistakes- When in an inescapable situation there is only one way to overcome... I decide to take care of myself and let God take care of everyone else- By happy, encourage, forgive, be tolerant, flexible, serve Jesus... don’t be the source of tension or the cause of an argument...- It’s not about my feelings or my children’s... serve God no matter what- Be a peacemaker and a servant
