Piercing the Darkness - Our Hope: How God Works in History, Part 1
Description
Do you feel like the whole world is spiraling out of control? Has that caused you to lose hope and be discouraged? In this program, Chip will remind us that there is an incredible reason for hope as long as we look to the right source. Join us as we study the life and ministry of Jesus and what His example teaches us about breaking through the darkness of our world.
Main Points
5 Realities of our world today:
- We are living in a dark world locally, nationally, and globally.
- God’s story from beginning to end gives us a certain hope to pierce the darkness.
- Jesus’ “life” is the light and the darkness can never overcome it.
- God’s greatest work has always occurred in the darkest moments in human history.
- Jesus’ “life” (what He actually did) launched His Kingdom of light movement by starting small, dreaming big, and going deep.
Jesus Modeled:
- Surrender to the Father
- Separation from the world
- Sober self-assessment
- Serving in love
- Supernatural response to evil
Jesus Commanded:
- Surrender all
- Separate from the world
- Sober self-assessment
