Ordinary Time - God Loves You
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
God Loves You, Hesed Pt. 9
God's Love: God Remembers You
God not only loves you, just as you are, but in his kind love, God remembers you. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken.
The times we live in are not easy, they are chaotic, it can be a challenge to not be overwhelmed by anger or grief or unrest.
Yet, within our life, God's "hesed" love is the center, it is the place of courage and confidence, it's a place to stand in the chaos and confusion...
Sometimes we have been told in our lives various sayings
"God loves you, but…"
"God loves you, and…"
"God loves you, therefore…"
But what if it's simpler, more profound, more powerful, more transforming, and more beautiful than that.
God Loves You
What does this mean for you and me? It means EVERYTHING.
God's love, God's faithfulness, God's mercy, God's grace, God's kindness, and God's loyalty.
God not only loves you, just as you are, but in his kind love, God remembers you. You are not forgotten. You are not forsaken.
In this fascinating sermon, Tim takes us through the scriptures and all of the times that God reminds us that He remembers us.
From our reading Psalm 25 (4-18)
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
For your name’s sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Who are they that fear the Lord?
He will teach them the way that they should choose.
They will abide in prosperity,
and their children shall possess the land.
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever towards the Lord,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart,
and bring me out of my distress.
Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
