We are including among our sermon lessons the audio sermons of Billy McGuiggan, who spoke for us in our recent gospel meeting beginning on 9/11. A native of Ireland, Billy lives in Natick, Mass. with his wife and children. He loves and serves Jesus, preaching for the Natick Church of Christ. Billy has preached Jesus at the Pepperdine University Lectureships, Ohio Valley University and numerous churches and youth rallies. Billy’s lessons will engage you with what Jesus would love for you. We know you will be blessed by hearing Billy’s passion for Jesus.
Following are the six lessons of Billy’s sermon series.
Jesus Would Love to Give You Confidence. Your faith in Jesus is valuable and effective because Jesus is real, he’s alive and he is the Messiah, the Son of God. A striking feature of the gospel stories about Jesus is that people look to him in faith and he did not disappoint them. Jesus will not disappoint the seeking sinner, but Jesus forgives and assures our hearts. Know and trust Jesus and he will not disappoint.
Jesus Would Love to Have a Relationship with You. Many people practice religion but fail to understand the heart of God. God is not as impressed with doctrinal knowledge about him as he is pleased with actions of love that honors God because we know and appreciate His love for us.
Jesus Would Love to Give You Hope. On 9/11/2001 terror struck our nation causing grief and cries for justice. While honoring the dead many prayed for the comfort of hurting families and for a safer world. Ten years later we may feel safer but we see how troubled this world is. We met on 9/11/2011 to affirm in prayer and worship that Jesus is the solution for the world’s troubles. Jesus would love to give you hope. Receive renewed hope in the victory of Jesus over death through his resurrection from the dead.
Jesus Would Love You to Help the Hurting. The things that hurt in this life touch and concern everyone; but some help more deeply and longer because they lack encouragement. Realize the power in speaking encouraging words and providing help that refreshes a person’s soul. If you are out to change your world, this is how you do it.
Jesus Would Love You to Tell Others about Him. Hardly anyone keeps quiet about a great experience. If Jesus really does answers prayers, heals the sick, restores people to a right mind and cleanses sins; it’s something to talk about.
Jesus Would Love for You to Come Home. Home is more than a house; for it is family and the times we enjoy together. God’s house is our eternal home, and we make the choice to return to our Father. Our Father loves us and is looking for our return to Him.

“It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,” is a line from “Happy Trails”, the theme song of Roy and Dale Evans Rogers. Their cheerful song made people feel happy. The message is practical, advising that smiling, singing and being together with friends will take away the clouds and bring sunny weather.

Thousands deserted Jesus after being fully feed by Jesus with five loaves of bread and two fish. They hardened their hearts against outstanding evidence, but Peter reacted: “To whom shall we go? You speak the words of eternal life.” Peter witnessed many other miracles including healings, walking on water, stilling the storm, casting out demons and raising the dead. One time when Peter was with Jesus, James and John, he witnessed a transfiguration of Jesus. The appearance of Jesus altered before his eyes so that his face was shining like the sun and his clothes became dazzling white. He heard God’s voice from heaven:

What makes us happy and what affects our happiness? You might assume: circumstances. Truly happy people continue to be happy regardless of their circumstances. Circumstances may heighten their joy in the moment or may temporarily overwhelm them with sadness. Nevertheless, they deal with all circumstances with a thankful and joyful heart. You cannot always choose your circumstances. Even when you can choose your circumstances,

There’s an amusing exchange between father and son in the 2006 movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, in which Will Smith and his son Jayden play the role of Chris Gardner and his son Christopher. Chris told Christopher that he possibly would take him to a football game. A typical five year old boy, Christopher thought he would be going to the game. His dad clarified they possibly would go
