Sunday evening before the service began, I overheard a mother sharing with a friend the sermon notes that her elementary age son had written during the morning service. She was excited that her son had listened so well. It was notable that while our pastor expounded on the verse that reads "Be not drunk with wine wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit," the young listener summed it up as point #1 "Be not drunk." I think he got the point. It gave me an idea to share some of the recent notes I have gleaned from the services at Berean. Here are some recent quotes taken from the sermons of Pastor Sweatt that are words to ponder:
"The most worthy thing is to be changing into His image."
"Spiritual maturity takes time. If Satan can get you to quit doing what God wants you to do, then you will stop maturing."
"We must allow God to change us - not depending on self-reformation."
"Be a person of hope! Looking around - you will be perplexed. Looking within - you will be discouraged. Looking up - you will be hopeful."
