An alcoholic swears off the bottle. Three days later he grabs another case of beer at the corner gas station. A husband looses his temper with his wife again. He hates himself for it. Why does he keep losing his temper? Why can't he change? As Christians, we become frustrated when we want to obey Christ but we keep drifting away. Where does the power come from for lasting change? In the second half of John 14, Jesus introduces his disciples, and us, to the Holy Spirit and the crucial role he plays in changing our life.

Do you remember feeling lovesick? Do you remember when your heart skipped a beat because you were in the presence of someone you loved? We assume lovesickness is a temporary condition that couples outgrow once their relationship is established. Research tells us the reason couple are cured of lovesickness is because the romance of their relationship goes away. In this message, we take lessons from Solomon and his bride on how to rekindle the romance so our heart skips a beat like it once did.
