Series: Extreme Makeover

Message: In The Valley

1. God is STILL GOD.

(1 Peter 4:12-13) (NLT) 12Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 

(Psalm 46:10)(NIV) He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

(Isaiah 55:8-9)(NIV) 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

1. God is SPEAKING LOUDLY.

(Psalm 18:6)(NLT) But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.

(Jeremiah 29:13)(NIV) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

1. God is STILL LOVE.

(1 John 4:8)(NIV) Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

(Romans 5:8)(NLT) But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

(Ephesians 3:17-19) (NIV) 17And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

(Romans 8:38-39) (NLT) 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1. 
   God is STILL THERE.

(Psalm 23) (NLT) 1The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

2He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

3He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. 4Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid,

for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

5You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. 6Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live
