January 30, 2023 When God Says “No” | When God Goes Dark
When God Goes Dark: “When God says No”
God, why are you ALLOWING this?.
God, am I going too make it THROUGH this?
In these seasons we experience a number of feelings:
1. We get MAD.
2. We’re tempted to LEAVE.
3. We COMPARE ourselves.
“Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
The presence of ADVERSITY does not equate to the ABSENCE of God.
The experiences of the Apostle Paul’s life and writings give us a TRUTH and a PROMISE.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
v.7 “To keep ME from becoming CONCEITED, because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given to me a THORN in my flesh, a messenger from SATAN to TORMENT me.”
v.8 “THREE times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.”
The PROBLEM with the idea of problem-free Christianity is that it’s NOT Christianity at all.
v.9 “But, He said to me, My GRACE is SUFFICIENT for you, for my POWER is made PERFECT in weakness. Therefore I will BOAST all the more GLADLY about my WEAKNESSES, so that CHRIST'S POWER may rest on me.”
“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His MERCY and we will find GRACE to help us when we need it most.” Hebrews 4:16
v.10 “That is why for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions in difficulties. For when I am WEAK, then I am STRONG.”
Guidance for your conversations with Jesus when it feels like God has gone dark:
1. Your Heavenly Father absolutely cares about your CIRCUMSTANCES.
2. If God says ‘no’ that does not mean He does not CARE about you.
3. It’s in our trials and our WEAKNESS that Jesus is most clearly visible in our life.
4. Never forget, your Savior faced a SIMILAR SITUATION in His own life.
Jesus' SUSTAINING GRACE in our lives always begins, not with my will, but THY will, be done.

January 23, 2023 Hello Darkness My Old Friend | When God Goes Dark
Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Psalm 88:1-18
The dark NIGHT of the soul
“Darkness is my closest FRIEND”
When darkness is the only thing you can COUNT ON
When darkness is the only thing you can SEE
When darkness is the only thing you can EXPLAIN
Darkness is a NORMAL part of the journey of faith.
Mother Teresa
How do we continue to move forward when we can’t see a way FORWARD?
BRINGING to light what you are experiencing in the dark.
You don’t walk ALONE in the dark.
Me too.
When you walk in darkness, you are never ALONE.

January 18, 2023 Doubt in the Dark | When God Goes Dark
When God Goes Dark: “Doubts”
Questions in life often come FASTER than answers.
What do you do with your DOUBT?
God’s silence does not equate to His ABSENCE. It does not mean He does not CARE. It does not mean He is angry with you.
When it feels like God has gone dark, one of the first things I do is look to the Scripture to see if there is ANYONE whose circumstance is similar to MINE.
“Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

When it feels like God has gone dark we wonder:
God, WHERE are you? Do you KNOW my name?
Do you LOVE me? Do you CARE about what’s happening to me?

Mark 6:19-20
v.19 “Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to KILL him.”

v.20 “But she was not able to because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a RIGHTEOUS and HOLY man.”

John begins to have what we have, when things are bad, times goes by and nothing changes. He begins to have DOUBTS.
Matthew 11:2-6

v.2 “When John hear in prison what Jesus was doing, he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, Are YOU the one who was to come, or should we expect SOMEONE ELSE?”

When YOU go through a hard time, I PRAY. But when I go through a hard time, I DOUBT. Why is that?
In a season of life that is very traumatic, we tend to shrink down to the size of ME.

v.4 “Jesus replied, Go back and report to John what YOU HEAR and what YOU SEE.”

v.6 “Blessed is the PEROSN who does not FALL AWAY on account of ME.”

Your personal CIRCUMSTANCES are not the way you determine how God FEELS about you. The proof of how God feels about you is what happened on the CROSS.
Your UNANSWERED prayer doesn’t mean God is UNINTERESTED.
Look back and REMEMBER. Look outside your circumstances and REFLECT.

January 09, 2023 Hope in the Dark | When God Goes Dark
When God Goes Dark: “Hope in the Dark”
In their way of thinking, much like our way of thinking: If God is with you then things get BETTER.
Mark 14:18-29
v.18 “I tell you the truth, one of you will BETRAY me, one who is EATING with me.”
v.21 “The Son of Man WILL GO just as it is WRITTEN about Him, but woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
At some point all of us ask these questions:
Why is God ALLOWING this?
Will I make it THROUGH this?
v.22 “While they were eating, Jesus took BREAD gave thanks, and broke it and gave it to his disciples saying, this is my BODY.
v.23 “Then Jesus took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them and they all drank from it. Then Jesus said, This is my BLOOD of the COVENANT, which is poured out for many.”
v.27 You will ALL fall away, for it is written; “I will strike the Shepard and the sheep will be scattered.” But after I have RISEN, I will go ahead of you in to Galilee.”
Can you TRUST God, even when God goes dark?
Can you hold on to faith in God, when you can’t see any EVIDENCE of His activity in your life?
It was those SAME hours when we thought He was MISSING that God was doing his GREATEST work.
That is our story as people who place their HOPE and their FAITH in Jesus as their Savior.
Will we hold on to faith in Jesus when it’s too dark to see His HAND?
It allows us to embrace the UNKNOWN, knowing God is still God; and although LIFE is uncertain, God is not UNCERTAIN.
The proof of God’s presence with you in the midst of the darkness isn’t your CIRCUMSTANCES, it’s the CROSS of Jesus.
“And we know that in all things God WORKS FOR THE GOOD of those who love HIM, and who have been called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28

December 12, 2022 Reconciliation | Invisible Made Visible
“Reconciled”
Colossians 1:19-22, Matthew 5:23-24, Luke 2:1-14

Reconciliation is not comfortable, and not intuitive, but often it is necessary:
For OUR sake.
For THEIR sake.
For CONSCIENCE’S sake.
For JESUS sake.
We know we should, but:
We just DON’T WANT to.
We just haven’t gotten AROUND to it.
It’s just way to EMOTIONAL.
They don’t really seem INTERESTED.
“Peace on Earth and mercy mild, God and sinners RECONCILED.”
Hark the Herald Angles Sing, Charles Wesley
Colossians 1:19-22 pg. 1,832
v.19 “For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Jesus, and through Him to RECONCILE to HIMSELF all things…by making PEACE through Jesus’ blood, shed on the CROSS.”

v.21 “Once you were ALIENATED from God and were enemies in your minds because of your EVIL BEHAVIOR.”
v.22 “But now, God has RECONCILED you, by Jesus’ physical body through DEATH, to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from ACCUSATION.”

Reconciled: God removed everything that has made us INCOMPATIBLE with Him.

Why is it that it’s so easy to resist DEMONSTRATING what at Christmas we’re CELEBRATING?
Make visible in the life of SOMEONE ELSE what your Heavenly Father through Jesus, at Christmas, made visible for YOU.
God did not RESCIND His offer simply because we would not RECEVE it.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth PEACE to those on whom His favor RESTS. Luke 2:14
If God and sinner can be RECONCILED, who are we to withhold the offer of RECONCILIATION?
The way to start is to understand, you never start with reconciliation, you start with forgiveness because: FORGIVENESS + Trust = Reconciliation.
Attempts at reconciliation ALWAYS work in SOMEONE

December 06, 2022 Seeds To Disrupt Power | Invisible Made Visible
Seeds That Disrupt Power
Are we experiencing what the Bible calls PEACE?
Shalom
v. 17 - Jesus holds all things together.
The enemy disrupts PEACE by pulling things apart.
Deception, Blame, Division
What was once HELD together got pulled apart.
v. 20 - Jesus brings things back together.
Casting BLAME is easier than finding shalom.
We are DISTRACTED from seeing the image of God.
Jesus makes peace through his BLOOD.
Matthew 17:20
Seeds of FAITH are more powerful any other offers of peace.
Faith produces OWNERSHIP.
Ownership produces LOVE.
