The difference between the eyes of a hunter and the eyes of a hiker in the same circumstances lead to the title of this message by pastor Dwayne Trelenberg. How are you looking at the world around you? To enjoy and appreciate it, or to gain something?
Matthew 13:13-15|NIV
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
Acts 4:12|NIV Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
Philippians 2:12|NIV Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed --not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--
continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
2 Timothy 3:5|NIV having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
Acts 1:8|NIV But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
John 14:12|NIV I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
