Life is often hard and each of us eventually feels its pain in different ways. What we hope in dramatically impacts how we face that pain, however. This message looks at the incredible hope the Bible holds out for us to lay hold of in suffering and the help that the Spirit gives us as we do.
Sometimes, especially recently, we all feel like we are in a dark tunnel, just waiting for the light to come at the end. In Psalm 57 we find David literally stuck in a cave and afraid for his life, but still praising God. This message looks at the prayer that God gives him, and how we too can find our refuge in God and realize that He is our light, even while still in the dark times.
Some of the prayers in Scripture sound like the bartering in a Middle Eastern market. There's a back and forth that seems deliberate and intentional. Today's message looks at one such 'prayer negotiation' between Moses and God. And it shows us that sometimes God tests us in prayer to see what we'll settle for. His hope is that we won't settle until we've seen His glory.
