How you Honour Jesus?
Looking at the bright side
- God doesn’t want you to look at the dark side
- Your eye is evil and dark
- Your whole body is full of darkness
- Start looking at the bright side
- You have been redeemed
- Jesus died for you to give you the good life
- He was in darkness so your mind can be in the light
- Start looking at light
- Start seeing everything in the light
- Live in the light
- Expect good things to happen, just as you have expected bad things to happen
How can we expect Good?
- Jesus took your bad
- So you can expect the good He deserves
How can we honour Jesus?
- Expect good and you honour what he did
- Expect miracles and you honour what he did
- Expect health and healing and you honour what he did
- Expect the Good life and you give glory to the one who did all for you
