Sermon Recap - Lean Times

For a couple of weeks we have heard timely messages in a series called "How To Thrive In Lean Times". We learned first some characteristics and truths that keep us focused in "lean times".

1. Lean times are tough.
2. World leaders are under God's control.
3. Dealing with sin problem is critically important.
4. The only way to thrive in lean times is to hear and obey God's instruction.

Part Two gave some guidelines on how to proceed during lean times.
1. Proceed slowly, wait on the Lord and ask His direction.
2. Pray first. Make no decision without prayer.
3. Start or move forward from where you are. Don't wait for better circustances , God has placed you where you are for a reason.
4. Be ready to seize the moment. When God opens the door, be ready to move.

We heard part three last Sunday, notes will be posted soon on that. Many of our church is experienceing lean times, times of economic trouble, sickness, job situations etc. Through the power of God's provision and guidance, we can thrive during these lean times.
