Trust and Obey

Sunday, April 3, 2011
Led by Dennis Jeffries

Don't let your age, your past sins, or your appearance keep you from trusting and obeying what God asks you to do.
  • Exodus 3:1-2  -  When you hear Jesus speaking to you in your heart, trust that is is him who is speaking to you and then obey without saying "Why Me?", Moses still did the Lord's will even though he didn't feel worthy.
  • 1 Samuel 16:1,7,10-12  -  don't look at your age or outward appearance; God looks at the heart and willing mind
  • Acts 9:1-18  -  no matter what sin you've committed in the past, God will still use you if you are willing; Paul began to trust that Jesus was speaking to him  and then he had to obey the voice of the Lord. Ananias made excuses for why he couldn't go to Paul... again, don't ask God "Why?"
  • Isaiah 6:8  -  our answer to God's voice should be "Here am I, send me."

Trust and Obey
  1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
    What a glory He sheds on our way!
    While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
    And with all who will trust and obey.
    • Refrain:
      Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
      To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
  2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
    But His smile quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.
  3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
    But our toil He doth richly repay;
    Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
    But is blessed if we trust and obey.
  4. But we never can prove the delights of His love
    Until all on the altar we lay;
    For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
    Are for them who will trust and obey.
  5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
    Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
    What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
    Never fear, only trust and obey.

Jesus Understands Our Infirmities

Sunday, March 27, 2011 Led by Dennis Jeffries Jesus has experienced everything we've ever been through, and more so. He understands our feelings and knows what it's like. Hebrews 2:16-18  -  Jesus took on flesh and blood and was made like his brethren; he brings hope and comfort to those suffering with temptation Philippians 2:5-6  -  Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God (he wasn't taking anything away from God because he was God) *** See John 10:24, John 1:1,14 *** John 5:18  -  the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he proclaimed to be equal with God *** See John 15:18-19 *** Philippians 2:7  -  Jesus was in the likeness of man Isaiah 53:2-5  -  He knows how we feel in every situation we're in; he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... therefore he understands our griefs and sorrows Galatians 4:4-5  -  Jesus was flesh (made of a woman) and was subjected to temptation just as we are, but he ...

Examples of Prayer from Those of Old

Sunday, August 7, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert We can learn a lot about prayer by reading what God's servants of old have prayed. "To pray is the greatest thing we can do: and to do it well there must be calmness, time, and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the littlest and meanest of things. True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn. And if we would learn the wondrous art, we must not give a fragment here and there -- "A little talk with Jesus," as the tiny saintlets sing -- but we must demand and hold with iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name. This, however, is not a day of prayer. Few men there are who pray. Prayer is defamed by preacher and priest. In these days o...
