This illustration makes use of science and shows us how the joy of the Holy Ghost should bubble up within us. We should be so full of joy that it bubbles out of us and spreads to the people around us. The joy Jesus gives will change your life.

This illustration shows us that you may receive teaching from many different people in all shapes and sizes, but you must make sure it is the Truth! The message of the Word of God is what matters, not who delivers that message to you. However it is up to you to make sure that whoever you are listening too, is telling you the Truth. That is why you should study the Bible yourself, so you will know they are teaching you the Truth. The message matters, not the messenger.

Ever thought about this? Christians say that they serve a Holy God, that their lives are governed by the Holy Bible, that they want to spend eternity in a Holy Heaven, and that they are filled with the Holy Spirit. And yet, it is taboo in most churches today to speak about the subject of Holiness! Anyone who dares to mention it is thought to be super-spiritual, or unfashionable, or even Pharisaical. And the devil just laughs as one of his greatest deceptions continues to infect the lives of so many church members. Good is called evil, light is called darkness, sweet is called bitter (Isaiah 5:20) … and holiness is called outdated, old-fashioned, and obsolete.In the very last letter he ever wrote, the Apostle Paul emphasized to Timothy how important it was to depart from iniquity, flee lusts, and follow righteousness. “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use” (2 Timothy 2:21). He wanted his young protégé to be a Vessel of Honor so that his life could be useful and effective in God’s Kingdom.

This lesson talks about everything that Jesus went through on His way and at Calvary. We talk about how He went through all that pain and suffering for us. And how the story doesn't end at the cross.

This lesson talks about how we should be thankful even when everything around us seems to be going wrong. The Bible tells us to be thankful in ALL circumstances. So even when our world is falling apart, we are to be thankful! Thankful in the good times AND the bad times.
