When Mary Magdalene broke her alabaster box of ointment at Jesus' feet, she poured out her love on Him. But when Jesus gave His body to be broken in death, it allowed His Spirit to be poured out on all flesh. The Spirit of God brings us into the body of Christ, which is the Church. And it is our responsibility to pour out our love on His body, of which He is the head.

When God speaks, it changes things. Guest speaker Joe Don Calhoun (pastor of Life Spring Church, Brookfield, WI) reminds us that God's Word is eternal. It outlives everything in this world. And when God speaks His Word over our lives, He is committed to fulfilling that Word, but it will be according to His timeline, not necessarily ours.

In Part 3 of this series, Pastor Rick Kielley explains that pride, guilt, fear, worry, and doubt are states of consciousness that may keep us from getting the help we often need. Instead of exhibiting these characteristics, we need to choose to trust God that all things will work together for those who love Him.
If we know the Word of God and speak God's Word in faith, we have power and authority through His Word against the enemy. Pastor Rick Kielley reminds us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. But we must be careful with our words because they can both build relationships and destroy relationships.
In Part 2 of this series, Pastor Rick Kielley explains the first reaction to a situation is often rooted in denial. But instead of blaming other people, we need to start accepting responsibilities for our own actions. Sometimes God brings pain to a situation because we remain in denial. And He does so to provide the antidote for the denial that's present in our lives.
Sometimes God takes us into a place of separation and darkness in order to transform us into something greater. Pastor Steven Kielley recalls the birth of Israel through the bondage suffered at the hands of the Egyptians. Yet Moses commanded Pharaoh on numerous occasions to release the Israelites so they could serve their God. People looking for a purpose in life need to realize they exist to serve Him.
