Sermon Recap

The last two Sundays we have heard messages on God's Truth For Difficult Times. Truths to hold on to were shared and here is a reminder on some of the truths that were shared:

The Lord - He is God. He is:
Alive
In Charge
Omnipotent
Filled with splendor
Revered
Holy
Glorious

The Bible is God's Word and reveals Him to us. In Psalms 19:7-11 we heard how powerful God's Word is and some things the Word does in our lives.

Psalms 19:7-11 "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure,making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous all together. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned and in keeping them there is great reward."

God's Word is called
The Law - it teaches and gives instructions. It converts our soul when we follow God's Word.
It's Statutes - These are commands or orders. These flow to us through reading God's Word. These cheer our hearts and encourage us. They give confidence by taking away uncertainty because God's Word is truth.
The Fear of the Lord: reflects an awe for God. God's Word convicts of sin, cleanses us, teaches us how to rightly respond to God.

This series will be continued. You won't want to miss these truths to stand on during difficult times.
