2004-02-01 Life God Desires to Give Us - Part 5

How much of God's life can believers have? What is the non-negotiable principle accessing it? This message establishes believers can have as much of God's life as they're willing to trust Him for, with trust being like a muscle developing through use. Discover from 1 Peter why trials come to prove faith genuine—more precious than gold—and what God hates according to Jeremiah: people forsaking Him as spring of living water to dig broken cisterns. Meet Diane Hoffman whose pregnancy involves a baby with cleft lip/palate yet chooses trust over abortion, illustrating how disappointment tests whether seeking life from wrong sources. Learn from the woman with five husbands why people can never find life in others, how Jesus offers rest for the stressed through yoking together like marriage, and why commitments worth making are hard and always tested.
