Paul is praying for us to have the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us.  That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith–dwell means home.  Not a temporary home.  Dwell means to settle down somewhere.  It is what Jesus is doing in your life and mine.  

Prayer is not just getting what you want from Dad, it’s about having a relationship with Dad.  Knowing Him, loving your Dad, and trusting your Dad.  Doing what your Dad has for you–caring for people, forgiving people.

All of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) in the Bible, tell us the women who were followers of Jesus went to the tomb early on Sunday morning.  They found the tomb empty and heard a message from the angel.  

Jesus talked alot about the danger of greed, of materialism.  And how we can be blind to money’s control over us.  Jesus tells us to: Watch out!  Be on your guard.  About what?  All kinds of greed.  That’s another way of saying: Chasing more.  

Peter expected seven times to forgive to be impressive.  The Jewish law only required three times.  Jesus is basically saying there should be no limit when it come to forgiveness.  The point is that if you are keeping score, you’re not really forgiving.  So, do you keep score?
