Jesus Always pt 4

When Your Life Feels Like a Dead End 

SUMMARY :
In the Old Testament, an angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and encouraged him to save his people. Instead of trusting God, Gideon played it safe and missed being who God created him to be. We can choose to trust God and find our lives in Jesus.

“If God is with me … where is He?” It’s an honest question. You’re trying to do what He’s asked, but you wonder if He sees you. The relationship, the job, the habit-something isn’t moving. This week, we’re talking about what to do when life feels stuck.

KEY SCRIPTURE :
When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”
Judges 6:12-13

And the Lord looked at him and said, “Go in this strength of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?”
Joshua 7:14

HIGHLIGHTS :
•When God wants to do something, He sends someone.
•God the Father sent Jesus.
•Jesus has sent you.

Jesus Always pt 3

Barely Standing but Still Holding On 

SUMMARY :
Jesus has always been close, even right now. God shows up in our wrestling, questions, and even in our darkest nights. We may not see it in the moment; Jacob didn’t either. And when you look back, you may have scars, but they’re reminders of how God was with you the whole time.

Maybe it’s not that you’ve walked away from God, but you’ve got questions. Why didn’t He stop this?
Why won’t He fix it? This week, we’re looking at a story that might be exactly what you need. It’s not a tidy one, but there’s something in it for anyone who’s struggling and refuses to let go.

KEY SCRIPTURE :
This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.
Genesis 32:24 NLT

HIGHLIGHTS :
Honesty isn’t what keeps you bound.
Honesty is where the blessing starts.
“Peniel” :Face of God

Jesus Always pt 2

What To Do When God Feels Silent 

SUMMARY :
While we face troubles and trials today, we can remember the hope we have in Jesus. God doesn’t always show us why, but we can still pursue and trust Him. Sometimes God intervenes, other times He doesn’t. Either way, you can enjoy Him in the good times and get to know Him in the flames.

Sometimes, life hits hard. And before you know it, you’re wondering if God even sees what you’re going through. We’re talking about what to do when God feels silent-and why that silence isn’t the end of the story.

KEY SCRIPTURE :
…“King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
Daniel 3:16-18 NIV

HIGHLIGHTS :
•Jesus won’t always keep you from the fire, but He’ll always meet you in it.

Jesus Always pt 1

Trusting God Without Understanding 

SUMMARY :
Putting our faith in God isn’t always about what we see—it’s about knowing who He is. The story of Abraham and Isaac foreshadows how Jesus, the Son of God, would sacrifice His life so we could find full life in Him. Today, we can trust Jesus because of His sacrificial love, even when we don’t understand.

What if the greatest story ever told is bigger than you thought? It’s easy to assume Jesus was only present for part of the story. But in our series, Jesus Always, we’ll look back and discover that Jesus was there from the beginning-and that He’s right here, in whatever we’re facing today.

KEY SCRIPTURE :
… As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” … “God himself will provide the lamb …” 
Genesis 22:6-8 NIV
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne … 
Revelation 5:6 NIV

HIGHLIGHTS :
•The tomb is empty—therefore, through Him, anything is possible!
