FULL LIFE – LIVING BEYOND WEARY

PASTOR BEN SIGMAN

October 6/7, 2018

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.

Lamentations 3:19-20 (NIV)

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

HOW WE GET TO “WEARY”

1. Weakness

2. Loneliness

3. Sin

4. Lack of Success

5. Comparison

HOW WE GET TO “FULL LIFE” IN DIFFICULT MOMENTS

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope.

Lamentations 3:21 (NIV)

1. Resign as General Manager of THE UNIVERSE

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed …

Lamentations 3:22 (NIV)

2. Remind yourself you are not the sum of your MISTAKES

…for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning…

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

3. Make God’s plan for your life OPERATIONAL

Great is your faithfulness…

Lamentations 3:23 (NIV)

4. Respond to God’s faithfulness NOW

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.

Lamentations 3:24-25 (NIV)

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV)

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”

Galatians 4:4-6 (NIV)
