"The Body of Christ"
Scriptures:
Romans 12:4-5
A.
1. god made us individually for a purpose
2. we each have our own finger print
3. you are important to God
4. though there are many denominations, races, walks of life, and personalities in the body of christ, when the rubber meets the road, we need to stop feuding over petty things
5. The devil wants the body of chrst to fight because he paralyzes it.
6. the head on the human body is amazing. just as if the head was cut off from out body if we ignore christ. then we decapitate the body of christ. a body without a head, though it fights to stay alive, it eventually dies.

"A Love That Conquers"
1) Gifts that are not exercised with love are meaning less to God.
2) Love always, trust becomes vulnerable. (John 2:24-25)
3) Jesus knew what people were thinking and yet became vulnerable, even to death on the cross.
4) Love is eternal, the other gifts of god are temporal.
5) Root Problem: impatient in helping others. do not do things to self. do things so god can be glorified in you and through you.
6) you would, and you should give without expecting anything in return.
7) if you are going to talk the talk, you need to walk the walk!

"Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (pt.2)"
Scriptures:
Matthew 12:31-37
1 Timothy 1:12-18
John 15:1-6
What is it?
Whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost. Something slanderous against the lords good name.
So in modern terms, I'm pretty sure it means that whoever takes the lords name in vain cannot be forgiven.
Blasphemy is something said deliberately in abundance from the heart. In other words, use the lords name in vain many times and mean it.
The more you praise and worship the Holy Spirit, the more god can be around.
