Putting Light In Dark Places: Recent Episodes
LaGrange Church of God
Sermon series that was cut short & moved online due to Covid19. This series focuses on how to Put Light Into Dark Places. Inspired by John 9:5
God works all things for good. While things are not looking good for us (economy, jobless rate, death tolls, infections) God can even redeem COVID 19. What we forget is that God works all things for good for those who are called according to His will and purpose. God redeemed COVID 19, but on Easter we remember His resurrection and overcame the greatest sickness of all, sin. Not only do we celebrate that redemption, but we celebrate that He has called us within our doubt, to go help people grow in their doubts to be his disciples that make disciples of Jesus Christ.
Jesus went into Jerusalem, the place he would be killed, that didn't recognize him, despite his critics, and despite his disciples not really believing in how he truly was. He didn't make excused to stop, he did it anyway.
When God is working for some, those who are nominal and religious without faith are going to be continually overwhelmed. The only way we can overcome evil that keeps us from having victory in Jesus is to to the right thing and LET GO of all things that keep us from seeing Him.
Paul had been going city to city, but "on his way", to Ephesus he noticed some people hadn't received the Holy Spirit. Instead of devaluing them and moving on, he saw potential in them and did something about it. WE need to see value in small opportunities, AS much as big ones!
