Making Heart Bread
I. Intro – Making Heart Bread
a. Story in generalities
b.
This story reminds us that we can do nothing with our own strength.
So when life happens, what sustains us?
When our ministry and call is presented to us, how do we fulfill it?
c.
Similar questions were faced by the early church.
In particular, for us today, by Peter and John in the face of the events we spoke about last week.

III.
Exegete
a. Fears they faced
b.
Confusion and doubts they could have had
c.
What is the result if they don’t have an anchor, if they have nothing that fills their heart.
Nothing to sustain their souls and take away their fears
1. Compare that to us when we have no anchor apart from our social rules, and strength, and traditions
IV.
How do we get to where we need to be?
How can we, as a church, face trials, face LIFE, like the early church did?
How can we go and do, like the text above our doors reminds us every Sunday as we leave to go out to our life’s ministry?
[Heartbread]
We need heart bread.
After all, we all have doubts/fears/anger/loss/even joy.
So how do we find that thing that can fill our hearts when we struggle or when life seems unfair.
Thankfully, that answer lies in scripture as well.
And in scripture written by someone who – like you and me and Peter and John – wasn’t always living his best life now as some televangelists try to peddle.

c.
Why are you cast down?
d.
Hope in God!
For I shall again praise Him! My help and my God!
1. Hold God in your heart.
Make God the thing you long for more than anything else.
Hope in God!
As you lie to sleep, and as you awake.
Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself that you are loved.
You are accepted.
You are God’s child – and all you need rests in Him.
He is our help and our God.
2. And never forget, church, there is nothing that can stop Him from getting to you.
His love – overwhelming, never-ending, undeniable and complete love of the God who created you.
