The Main Idea: God’s at Work to Repair and Remake His Covenant People.

*The Big Question: What can we expect from God if we are IN COVENANT with him?

*The Central Point: Like a Friend that Sticks Closer than a Brother, He:

1.) STIRS UP (vv. 1-4) – (Application: Move on in Christ, even when you don’t have all the answers)

2.) STAYS BESIDE (vv. 5-8) – (Application: Have confidence in Christ wherever you are going)

3.) STANDS WITH (vv. 9-15) – (Application: Receive encouragement from Christ when he gives it)
