Faith in Motion- Faith Can Be Lonely

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. -Genesis 6:5-6: The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart. -Genesis 6:9: This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God. -Genesis 6:11-12: Now God saw that the earth had become corrupt and was filled with violence. God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt. -Genesis 7:1: When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous. -Genesis 7:23: God wiped out every living thing on the earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat. -Genesis 8:15-16: Then God said to Noah, “Leave the boat, all of you—you and your wife, and your sons and their wives. Points: Point 1: Segregation is a natural part of faith! -John 16:8-10: And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me. Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more. -Matthew 7:13-14: “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Point 2: People abandoning you is a natural part of faith! -I Samuel 8:7: “Do everything they say to you,” the Lord replied, “for they are rejecting me, not you. They don’t want me to be their king any longer. -Exodus 16:8: Then Moses added, “The Lord will give you meat to eat in the evening and bread to satisfy you in the morning, for he has heard all your complaints against him. What have we done? Yes, your complaints are against the Lord, not against us.” Point 3: God will fill the void of loneliness! -Genesis 2:18: Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” If you would like to watch our past services, you can do so here: https://www.gcwesleyan.org/sunday-service-videos/ Like and subscribe to our new YouTube channel, Graham Chapel Youth!
