Pastor Mark

John 16:33 NKJV

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Galatians 3:7-8 NLT

7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.

8 What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.”

Galatians 3:21 NLT

21 Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.

We feel cold because we have failed God. But God is not far away from us.

When we feel shame, God is drawing near to you

Grace is about nourishing and cherishing

When we are weak, the Lord focus on us.

Ephesians 5:30 NKJV

30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

We are His body. We are joined together

Whatever we are facing in life, the Lord is nourishing us

Nourish

I. to nourish up to maturity, to nourish Il. to nurture, bring up

Cherish

I. to warm, keep warm

Il. to cherish with tender love, to foster with tender care

Depend not on feeling sometime.

When we know He is with us, peace will reign in our lives

When your heart is at peace, it is the greatest glory to God.

Rest is the most powerful. It demonstrates faith.

We know who is with us.

The Lord never leave us.

John 18:18 NKJV

18 Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

Sometimes the Lord will allow you to see your own flesh.

God never cause the crisis but He wants us to grow in the crisis.

Peter denied Him 3 times. The Lord Himself turned and looked at him. I believe it is look of love

When you feel cold, those words will warm your heart

God’s love is agape.

John 21:9 NKJV

9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

When we fall, the only thing that gives us the grace is His love

John 21:12 NKJV

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.

John 21:13 NKJV

13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

You can feel cold in your crisis and situation, but the Lord is speaking to you and is near you. The Word is near you and near your heart

You are His body.

Body without head is dead body.

It is important to be teachable

We will be disappointed in life.

Luke 24:21 NKJV

21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

During crisis of sickness, we are hoping but we don’t see. And we become downcast

Heart can be cold. But it will never be a distance between us and Him

Luke 24:32 NKJV

32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

In the crisis, He will never leave you

He has never stopped nourishing you or cherishing you

Just praise Him

Your mercy endures forever
