14 June 2015 Ps Andrew Harper - Our life in darkness.

Someone in distress can walk in to a church, mid- week, desperate for help, will receive it.

Jn1:1 - The word is God, God is the word, the word is in God. (the trinity).

 - The glory of Jesus dwelling among us.

:4 -Life of man. In him was life.

-  How to travel through darkness.

- Light shines in darkness. Light overcomes darkness, and darkness can't comprehend it.

- We have to make sure we're prepared for whatever is coming.

- Light of acceptance. -

Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and distress. Telling us that we're accepted by God, and we can't lose it.

 - You can't overcome without the knowledge of acceptance of God.

 - No matter what you're doing, or have done, you're accepted by God through the blood of Christ.

 - God is the light in the darkness. Stay in God, (prayer), and reading his word will keep us moving with Christ.

Jn 17:3 - That they may know you.

 - We are like babies in mothers arms. Dependant, and reliant on God.

 - Acceptance can be hard sometimes, because we can be too hard on ourselves.

 - Gods people accept you for who you are.

 

Word Of Hope. -

- "Do Not Be Afraid!"

 

 - Our trials are only temporary. God is eternal. There's always hope in God.

 - Gods word is for now.

 - Gods word is for our life now.

 - We can be freed from the fear of death, because of our Heavenly promise.

 - Three ways to suicide.

1. - Kill yourself.

2. - Let yourself Die.

3. - Turn away from Christ, lose hope.

 - If we become self reliant to overcome situations. this can lead us to hopelessness.

Jn 1:2 - You were loved before you could love.

 - The hope of Christ is in you.

 - trust yourself to Christ.

 - Hope and trust in Christ thrives in hopelessness.

 - We should live in hope and trust in Christ.

 - Self reliance is a dead end.
