Isaiah 30:19-21 English Standard Version (ESV)19 For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you. 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.Watch the video for this sermon at https://vimeo.com/312196343

We must be willing to Ask, Accept and Act!! Even if it sounds to big for you to handle. It begins with asking...asking BIG BOLD requests of God. Requests like...."Sun Stand Still" !! Read Joshua 10:12-13 (NLT) 12 On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said,“Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”13 So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar[a]? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day. Watch the rest of this sermon at https://vimeo.com/310627623

Simeon's response to Jesus. Read Luke 2:22-35. We were made to worship. So we worship no matter what. Whom or what we worship is the question.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 New Living Translation (NLT)

The Hope of the Resurrection

15 We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died.[b] 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died[c] will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words. Watch the video for this sermon at https://vimeo.com/302698722

4 Main Points in todays sermon.

1. When we are saved, it is by grace - there is nothing we can do to earn it.

2. The most Biblically prominent attribute of God is that He is our Heavenly Father who loves us. He knows what’s best and wants what’s best for us.

3. Some Christians end up rejecting Christ later in life thereby shipwrecking their faith.

4. God’s Spirit is at work in us and through His grace enables us to become more like Jesus daily. Watch the video for this sermon at https://vimeo.com/299466201
