[1407.50 --> 1408.88] this happened about a month and a half ago, |
[1409.30 --> 1410.82] and now I'm going to point out our banner. |
[1410.82 --> 1413.58] So, John Mayhew made these banners. |
[1413.74 --> 1414.90] Can everyone on this side see? |
[1415.34 --> 1416.58] So, the image for hope, |
[1416.66 --> 1417.34] this is so good. |
[1417.42 --> 1418.76] It's a hospital room, right? |
[1419.30 --> 1421.10] The place where a lot of hope is lost, |
[1421.28 --> 1422.72] and there's a woman on the bed |
[1422.72 --> 1423.60] who's clearly praying. |
[1423.66 --> 1424.18] Her hand is up, |
[1424.24 --> 1426.26] and there's another person interceding for her, |
[1426.56 --> 1428.32] and what makes me very moved by that is |
[1428.32 --> 1430.32] when Brittany and I visited Nell Volcanier |
[1430.32 --> 1431.80] a month and a half ago, |
[1432.02 --> 1433.00] Nell, as you know, |
[1433.04 --> 1434.70] is going through cancer a second time, |
[1435.18 --> 1437.24] and there's something very scary about cancer |
[1437.24 --> 1438.16] at the first time, |
[1438.24 --> 1439.84] but it's very scary the second time, |
[1439.84 --> 1441.26] and she's at home. |
[1441.46 --> 1442.56] She's receiving treatment, |
[1443.00 --> 1443.46] and, you know, |
[1443.50 --> 1445.32] we're kind of sitting in silence for a while, |
[1445.48 --> 1447.42] and Nell breaks the silence by simply saying, |
[1447.78 --> 1449.46] I can feel God strengthening me. |
[1450.22 --> 1451.14] I was like, whew, |
[1451.98 --> 1453.68] that's what God does. |
[1454.64 --> 1456.10] That's who God is. |
[1456.18 --> 1458.56] He gives strength to weak people |
[1458.56 --> 1460.08] because He loves them, |
[1460.12 --> 1461.44] and He gives power to those |
[1461.44 --> 1463.06] who feel that they've got nothing left |
[1463.06 --> 1465.02] in a very beautiful and mysterious |
[1465.02 --> 1466.46] and personal way |
[1466.46 --> 1468.48] to those who are waiting on Him, |
[1469.08 --> 1470.72] and I know, |
[1470.84 --> 1471.80] even as I preach this, |
[1471.86 --> 1473.20] there's a lot of us this morning |
[1473.20 --> 1474.54] who are carrying a lot. |
[1475.62 --> 1476.84] Receive that for you. |
[1477.82 --> 1479.00] God is not changed. |
[1479.74 --> 1482.06] God is not asleep at the wheel of your life, |
[1482.24 --> 1484.28] and He gives strength to the weary |
[1484.28 --> 1485.50] and power to the weak |
[1485.50 --> 1489.34] that is available to every single one of us. |
[1490.54 --> 1491.26] Receive that, |
[1491.26 --> 1493.44] whatever it is that you are carrying. |
[1493.60 --> 1495.60] I know all of us have reasons |
[1495.60 --> 1496.50] to wonder if the future |
[1496.50 --> 1497.40] is going to be better than the present, |
[1497.72 --> 1498.96] and we hear God saying, |
[1499.60 --> 1501.88] I give strength to the weak. |
[1502.76 --> 1504.22] I give my power |
[1504.22 --> 1506.52] to those who feel like they've got nothing left, |
[1506.70 --> 1509.06] and there are testimonies within even our church |
[1509.06 --> 1511.10] that say God does that. |
[1511.74 --> 1512.66] This is not a lie. |
[1512.76 --> 1513.52] This is not a gimmick. |
[1513.74 --> 1515.04] This is not just words on a page. |
[1515.12 --> 1517.00] This is the real-time power of God |
[1517.00 --> 1518.80] available to the weak |
[1518.80 --> 1522.08] as we wait on Him. |
[1525.12 --> 1528.18] So Isaiah gives the church a gift this morning. |
[1529.12 --> 1529.60] He says, |
[1529.70 --> 1531.26] if you're struggling to hope, |
[1532.04 --> 1533.42] look back. |
[1534.76 --> 1537.16] Your God is the creator. |
[1538.00 --> 1539.24] Your God does not tire. |
[1539.38 --> 1540.12] He does not rest. |
[1540.12 --> 1541.36] Your God is the one |
[1541.36 --> 1543.54] who has control over all things, |
[1543.92 --> 1545.26] and He has accomplished |
[1545.26 --> 1547.06] what He promised to do |
[1547.06 --> 1548.74] through Jesus Christ. |
[1549.64 --> 1550.70] And if He's been faithful |
[1550.70 --> 1552.16] in His first coming, church, |
[1552.46 --> 1554.54] you can trust that He's going to come again. |
[1555.58 --> 1557.52] And I'll say this as best I can. |
[1558.16 --> 1559.40] Jesus is coming. |
[1560.22 --> 1560.90] Right now, |
[1560.96 --> 1562.42] He's sitting at the right hand of His Father. |
[1562.56 --> 1563.82] He's ruling over creation, |
[1564.14 --> 1567.16] and the reason He hasn't yet come in His glory |
[1567.16 --> 1569.78] is so more people can be drawn into the family. |
[1570.66 --> 1572.10] More people can experience |
[1572.10 --> 1573.70] the goodness and the power of God. |
[1573.70 --> 1575.44] More people can experience |
[1575.44 --> 1577.46] the life with Him eternally. |
[1577.90 --> 1578.76] And when He comes, |
[1578.86 --> 1579.98] your tears and my tears |
[1579.98 --> 1580.78] will be wiped away. |
[1581.30 --> 1582.44] Our pain will be gone, |
[1582.64 --> 1584.54] and we will be given resurrected bodies |
[1584.54 --> 1586.98] to live in a resurrected world forever. |
[1587.48 --> 1589.86] And that is worth waiting for. |
[1590.92 --> 1592.06] Let me lead us in prayer. |
[1598.62 --> 1600.40] Father, I want to thank You for Your Word. |
[1600.40 --> 1603.70] And I pray that these words from Isaiah |
[1603.70 --> 1604.92] would be good news to us, |
