Sunday Words of Encouragement September 7, 2014

Pastor’s central point in the Sermon this morning continued what we have been reading, discussing and seeing in online videos: God has a purpose for all things and there are times of Divine Appointment. Habakkuk 2:2-3 Jesus prayed in sorrow for Jerusalem because they would not – chose not to –  believe; therefore they missed an appointed time. Matthew 23: 37-39.

We believe today that warnings have been given, the signs are appearing and the world circumstances are moving toward a Divine Appointment. There is lawlessness, there are famines, volcanoes, earthquakes, blood moons and eclipses.  We must be careful not to miss our appointed time.

God is now warning nation, church and individual. How should we respond? We need to abandon any worldly idols that hinder our time and worship of God; that hinder our obedience and relationship with God.

We sang a part of a song this morning but I do not know it and it wasn't on the song list I picked up.

In searching for a song today I found this and it fits for me.

From the Inside Out

Verses for Today:

Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NIV)

 2 Then the Lord replied:
“Write down the revelation
    and make it plain on tablets
    so that a herald may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
    it speaks of the end
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
    it will certainly come
    and will not delay.

Lord, it is my prayer that you will help me lay aside unimportant matters and focus more on You and what You want me to do each day. I praise you and thank you for your faithfulness and your never ending grace.
