SATURDAY/SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (THE BOOK OF JOB 1)
The Book of Job… (1) Don’t Give Up!
CELEBRATORS… Starting a New Series this week at COC… THE BOOK OF JOB! Job 42:12a says something rather fascinating… The Lord BLESSED the LATTER PART of Job’s life more than the FIRST… What happens LATER in our life really does hinge on the NOW and HOW we choose deal with what we are facing! God wants to BLESS you – but it all deals with your PERSPECTIVE in HOW you face the challenges of your everyday life! How’s that going for ya? Don’t miss this series folks – I believe what we all can learn from the LIFE of JOB is rather fascinating and it just might bring you some FRESH PERSPECTIVE on handling whatever it is that you’re handling right now!
Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message… (1) DON’T GIVE UP!
DON’T GIVE UP ON THE GOD WHO HAS NEVER GIVEN UP ON YOU!
(Stop living in CHAPTER 2 and move to CHAPTER 42!)
JOB lost EVERYTHING in ONE DAY!
We live in a fallen world... LIFE IS HARD!
How are you responding… like Job...?
GOD is still GOD (and...) GOD is still GOOD!
-No matter WHAT you are going through... your CIRCUMSTANCES do not change HIS CHARACTER!
Are you going to allow your CIRCUMSTANCES… to determine your THEOLOGY… (or…) Are you going to allow your THEOLOGY… to determine your CIRCUMSTANCES?
No matter how HARD your life gets... DON'T GIVE UP!
-Jesus came to CHANGE YOUR HEART... not your CIRCUMSTANCES!
The GOD of Chapter 42 is still the GOD of Chapter 2!
-If YOU are HIS... He is ALWAYS working for your GOOD! (Romans 8:28)
