170521-0830-Loran Livingston - High and Dry

2017-05-21-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning, May 21st,  2017 in the 8:30 AM service.   Scripture: John 6: 44 & 65; Matthews 11:27-28; Romans 8:27-32   Notes: - In our lives there is a dryness and emptiness; when nothing seems to be happening spiritual. - We are just going through the motion of going to church. - When going through a grief period in our lives, the devil says maybe you aren't saved at all. - We start to question ourselves. - These dry times cannot separate you from God. - These are times we walk by faith. Jesus is in control of all things. - We don't know God unless Jesus reveals Him. - No one can come to Jesus unless the Father, who sent Jesus, draws him. - Salvation is a gift from God. Don't be discouraged. All things work together for good to those who love God. - Jesus foreknew-justified and call those who were chosen. - Justified means God Himself has declared you not guilty. Forever we are justified by faith. - If God is for us then who can be against us. - God will never turn His back to us.
