Increase Jesus by Decreasing Yourself

John 3:31-36

"He who comes from above...."
Jesus is worthy of our praise.  The Bible is very plain: we exist to give Him glory.
He does not need our praise, but we will not know real joy until we give Him what is His.
Jesus is above all, and that means EVERYTHING.

"He bears witness to what He has seen and heard....."
Jesus has a testimony.
God has the authority to speak life changing truth into our lives.
If you want to know God - ask Him.  He will answer, you can talk to Him, read about His witness in the Bible, read about His payment for your disobedience.

"Whoever believes in the Son (Jesus) has eternal life....."
The testimony of Jesus  is not: moralistic, therapeutic, feel good, or a Gospel of niceness.
Today's youth are stuck in the "Do Good", "Feel Good" trap.
Today's believer is called to a radical faith, far more so than previous generations!

We are to worship a Great God, an Almighty God.  One worthy of all of our lives.

God is Big.  God is Radical.  God wants  you to have more of Him and far less of you.....
