Church notes - Morning of 28th March 2021

[fardell24]

John 12:12 - 27
James 4:13 - 17
A year ago... Sudden COVID Restrictions!
Confident to lost in a heartbeat!
Circumstances can change.
We need to ask 'what is God's will in this?'
vs 13, 14
Life is uncertain and brief.
COVID, a bridge falling down, a house floating away in a flood.
Fog of life. We can only see a short way ahead.
Job 7:6

Psalm 101

Psalm 37
Psalm 90:12

We make plans without considering God.
God has different plans. We need to pray about what His plan is. This presupposes a close relationship with God and a good prayer life.

We need to say from the heart...
If God wills, I will spend my time...
If God wills, my children will become...
If God wills, I will take up this ministry...
If God wills, I will wake up tomorrow and...

We need to seek after Him in prayer.

vs 16
Amazing arrogance.

e.g,
Daniel 4:28 - 37
The result of Nebuchadnezzar's pride and arrogance.

vs 17

The events of this life aren't as important as Eternity.

Many people say that they value a personal faith but then refuse to allow it to cost them anything. They don't want it to cost them in terms of time, effort, resources or lifestyle. If you say you value faith, then it stands to reason taht you aught to expect that it would cost you something as well.
Are you prepared to pay the cost?
