Are you a climber or a complainer

Matt 17:14-20
Rains on the just and unjust
      Matt 5:45
      We will encounter trouble in this life.

• It is a part of life. You can not live and never have trouble. It comes from the fallen world we live in.
• Sometimes we create trouble with our decisions

     It's universal

• Some may look like they have no trouble---They are climbers 

Mountains can be spoken out of existence 

• Requirements
• Vs 21 may be left out of your manuscript 
• Prayer
• Fasting

Sometimes it moves sometimes you do

• May disappear
• Will be climbable 

First Love

Rev 2:1-7

Time
-becomes normal
- lose focus
Remember
-how it was
-what lead you to God
Return
-do your first works
-stir it up

Jesus means what he says

We fight fights already fought
No doubt winner
Few things are still in question
What will you look like when you arrive
