Melbourne Heights - Sermons

Every one of us has come to a crossroads in our lives where we've made the wrong choice. Every one of us has gone the wrong direction and couldn't find our way back. And the bigger the mistake, the easier it is to believe it defines us forever.

But our faith teaches us that God's love for us is greater than our biggest mistakes. So no matter what decisions you've made, your mistakes aren't the end of your journey with God.

We've all had times when it felt like God didn't show up when we needed him. We prayed. We trusted. And we still got hurt. So we built walls to make sure it wouldn't happen again. And those walls have worked.

But what if the very walls we've built to protect ourselves are the things keeping us from God's greatest work in our lives?

Have you ever had a moment when we've cried out to God, but it felt like God wasn't listening? Like God had forgotten about you? Like God had given up on you? When that happens enough times, it's easy to give up on God.

But even though God doesn't always show up when we want God to, that doesn't mean God's not at work in your life. Because God is always at work, even when we can't see it.

When you've been hurt enough times, you learn to keep your guard up. It's how we protect ourselves. But the longer we keep our guard up, the more alone we feel.

But what happens when keeping your guard up also keeps out the one person who sees you for who you really are and loves you anyway?

A lot of us have spent years going to church, reading our Bibles, and learning about God. And when you've spent that much time in church, it's easy to feel like you have God figured out.

But what happens when life doesn't go the way you expected, and God doesn't show up the way you thought he would? What if God is always bigger than anything we could ever figure out?
