Three Lies We Believe About God

• LIE #1 God loves more than.

 

John 3:16 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

• LIE #2 God can’t people like them.

 

Romans 10:14-15 (NLT) But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

• LIE #3 God’s isn’t for someone like me.

 

 Acts 10:43 NIV “All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

How Do We Respond to His Invitation? 

1. Before you

 

Acts 10:7 (NLT) “As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier…”

2. Position yourself to  

 

Acts 10:24 (NLT) “They arrived in Caesarea the following day. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends..”

 

3. God to do more than you . 

 

Acts 10:33  (NLT) So I sent for you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here, waiting before God to hear the message the Lord has given you.”

 

Act 10:44-46 (NLT)  Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message. The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too. For they heard them speaking in other tongues and praising God.
