Sermon from August 31

Desperate for God

Luke 8: 40 - 56

1. Jairus was well-respected in his community. He risked his reputation to fall at Jesus’ feet in front of everyone.
2. The woman was forbidden to touch a man in public and could have been whipped for doing so.
3. When was the last time you were desperate for Jesus to intervene in your life?
4. When we are desperate for God, He may just have us right where He wants us.
5. We must get it into our heads that we are created for His pleasure, not the other way around. God is sovereign and this is His world. Colossians 1:16
6. God does not exist to serve us, we exist for His pleasure.
7. We throw our lives on His mercy and wait for his grace to reward our faith.
