Join us for the “Defining Moments” series! This series is centered around the idea that each person has a limited number of moments in life that shape your future. You may have a million experiences, but defining moments are few, brief, and may have lasting influence over all that you do from that day forward!
A Trust and Obey Moment
Jeremiah 29:11-14a
“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you
will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord…”
Jeremiah 29:11
“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’”
God has a plan for you, but you have a choice!
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
Romans 10:9
“…that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…”
There are many reasons God saves you: to bring glory to Himself, to appease His justice, to demonstrate His sovereignty. But one of the sweetest reasons God saved you is because He is fond of you. He likes having you around. He thinks you are the best thing to come down the pike in quite a while...If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He’ll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. Face it, friend. He’s crazy about you. - Max Lucado
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. v. 12
God has a Promise for You, but do You Believe It?
I have plans for you! v. 11
I will listen to you! v. 12
I will be found by you! v. 14
1 Peter 5:10
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
Colossians 3:3
...your life is hidden with Christ in God.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Mark 4:40
“Why are you so timid? How is it that you have no faith?
John 10:10
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
God has a Purpose for You, but are You available?
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
When you don’t understand,
When you can’t see His plan,
When you can’t trace His hand, Trust His Heart!
