Give Your Child to God
0PSA 37:5PRO 22:6MAT 10:29LUK 15:11EPH 6:4PHP 4:6Neil Anderson emphasizes the importance of entrusting our children to God's care and protection, acknowledging that as parents, we cannot control their every decision or path. He draws parallels to the prodigal son story, highlighting the father's willingness to let his son go and the son's eventual return after coming to his senses. Anderson encourages parents to pray for their children, surrendering their will to God's and trusting in His ability to work in their lives even when they are out of sight.
A Personal Relationship
0GEN 3:7GEN 4:1JHN 1:14Neil Anderson delves into the impact of the Fall on Adam and Eve's minds, highlighting how sin distorted their perception of reality and their relationship with God. Before the Fall, Adam and Eve knew God intimately, but sin severed that close connection, leading to a loss of true knowledge of God. Through John 1:14, Anderson emphasizes that in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, God offers humanity the opportunity to know Him personally and intimately, restoring the relational knowledge of God that was lost through sin.
Living Water
0PSA 36:9ISA 58:11JHN 7:37HEB 11:6REV 21:6Neil Anderson emphasizes the importance of faith in God, using the analogy of a prospector in the desert who had to choose between pouring water down a well or using it to prime a pump. He highlights the element of risk in faith but assures that God's promises are true and reliable. Anderson encourages believers to trust in God's provision, as He is the source of living water that never runs dry. He reminds the congregation that activating the 'pump' of God's blessings requires faith, as stated in Hebrews 11:6.

A Whole-Brain God
0JHN 12:321CO 1:232TI 3:6Neil Anderson emphasizes the importance of having a balanced approach to faith, acknowledging that God works through both reason and intuition in our minds. He highlights that without Christ, cognitive-oriented individuals may struggle to find the truth, and intuitive-oriented individuals may be led astray by various impulses.

He encourages a biblical balance of seeking wisdom and knowledge while also being zealous for the power and reality found in Christ.
Demonstrating What We Believe
0JHN 3:16ROM 1:251CO 13:41TI 1:5JAS 2:17Neil Anderson emphasizes the importance of active faith, illustrating that faith without corresponding actions is lifeless.

Anderson points out that even demons believe in God's existence but do not obey Him, emphasizing the need for genuine faith to be reflected in our actions and obedience to God.
