Still_pt1: Beyond Understanding
[READ] - v.35-41
“Let us cross over to the other side...”
There is something on the other side of your obstacle
You WILL face some storms on the journey
There is a peace that can only come from the one who even the wind and sea obey...
Peace, beyond understanding!
“Let us cross over to the other side...”
There is something on the other side of your obstacle
You WILL face some storms on the journey
There is a peace that can only come from the one who even the wind and sea obey...
Peace, beyond understanding!
Beyond Understanding
[PAYOFF] - There is a peace under the authority of Christ, in the power of His Holy Spirit, that goes far beyond anyone of us can understand.
There is victory for those in Christ!
So much of the unrest in our lives is looking out for ourselves...
Trying to survive
Trying to get ahead
Trying to make it...
[ILLUSTRATION] - The 3 Hebrew boys didn’t defend themselves.
God did the fighting, they simply believed.
What peace must have been operating in their hearts!
I don’t need to defend myself!
What peace must have been operating in their hearts!
[PAYOFF] - Our peace is also robbed by our unnecessary need for fairness.
These things shouldn’t be happening to me - that isn’t fair!
Sacrifice isn’t fair!
It wasn’t fair that Christ went to the Cross!
But He did!
I don’t need what’s fair!
[ILLUSTRATION] Joseph was sold into slavery by His own brothers.
Later he tells them...
[ASK] - Can you see the good in your own suffering?
Genesis
[FINALLY] - We can lose our peace by seeking and chasing the credit for our good Christian behavior...
“I don’t live like the rest of the world!”
“I
“I deserve something for my good behavior!”
I don’t need the credit!
Finding peace
[NOW] Let’s talk about finding true peace...
[PAYOFF] - Peace only comes from Him! The God of peace!
Put all your trust in Him!
1 Peter
Do you have unrest or storms in your life this morning?
Cast those cares on Him!
Later this morning, we’ll open the altar, here, for prayer - just as we do every time we meet!
Come, cast your cards upon Him.
Put your FULL trust in Him this morning!
Look for what’s good!
[ASK] - Have you ever had some good come out of your trouble?
“I wonder where that came from?”
Could it have been God working out things for your good?
[STORY] - The Apostle Paul, while in prison, wrote 4 letters that have gone around the world and changed the lives of BILLIONS of people.
[STORY] - Joseph was sold into slavery, put in prison, forgotten about, falsely accused, but all this put him in a position to save the entire earth from famine.
[STORY] - YOU, in the middle of this trial, are being positioned divinely to see God be glorified, as He uses you and your trial to display His grace, power and love!
Understand what matters!
What matters?
Christ preached.
Lives changed?
God glorified.
