Texts: Acts 1:8; 2 Timothy 1:7, 14

Our fifth session on our Quest, guided by Frank Moore's book "The Power to be Free," causes us to consider the ways in which we are empowered by God to do His work. As we are dependant upon His power and allow His power to flow through us, we find ourselves caught up in His Kingdom work. This power gives us strength, it works on our behalf, and it is at work within us.

Texts: Matthew 5:8; Psalm 51; Philippians 2:1-8; James 4:8

Scripture teaches that the goal of the Christian is to have a pure heart. Is it possible to experience this kind of purity in the world around us? What does a pure heart look like? Soren Kierkegaard suggests that heart purity is "to will one thing." James suggests that we must be single-minded in all we do. Heart purity begins when we follow Jesus as our example and seek only to do the Father's will.

Texts: John 3:16; Luke 15; Matthew 13:45-46

This third session on our Quest highlights the way in which God's Spirit transforms us through His love.Luis Palau, (the "Latin Billy Graham") is famous for saying "God loves you, loves you, loves you." However, this truth doesn't simply mean that we can live however we like--God loves us so much that He desires to transform us more and more into His image. Not only does God love us, He loves others through us.

Text: John 16:12-15

This second sermon on "The Quest" (based on Frank Moore's book The Power to be Free) looks at the ways in which the Holy Spirit acts as our guide. With a multitude of guides and teachers offering their thoughts to us, we must remember that the Holy Spirit is the best guide for us to follow--the best teacher for us to learn from. We can always find people who want to tell us what we should do--but we should be a student of the Holy Spirit.
