In your life, you will have many tests. One of the best things you can do is remember…whatever you are facing, whatever you are going through is only a test! Here is what that means…it will pass. If you don’t have all the right answers…you know that God does! God will give you the strength, the wisdom, and the power to pass the test that Life will throw at you! The test of temptation! The test of pain! The test of loneliness! The test of financial decisions! The test of directions! Whatever test life throws at you…God will help you!

This morning I want to talk to you about a growth barrier that is hard to get rid of…it is something that we must always be watching for in our lives! What is it you ask? It the barrier of self-reliance! There is a remedy for self-reliance! It is the Holy Spirit! Today, on Pentecost Sunday, I want to share with you how you can become more reliant on the Holy Spirit! Less of you and more of HIM!

This morning we are beginning a new series called Growth Barriers. Growth barriers are simple to understand when we think about gardening or grass or just about anything that grows. Growth barriers are things that prevent growth from taking place.
