Believing God

Part 8 -  Misery to Mercy - Mark 5:1-20   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   The light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. The Lord Jesus sets the prisoners free. What a great joy!    

 Dealing with distress.   'A Guest Sermon' by Brother Muralee who is serves as a pastor and elder in his church and is involved in the church planing ministry. He has been in the Gospel for over 35 years. He is our dear brother and friend in the Lord. We were glad that he was able to visit us briefly while he travels abroad.  The sermon is based on 1 Samuel 30:1-21 with an emphasis on verse number 6. 1 Samuel 30:6 - "And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God."  

Part 7 -  The call of Christ and challenges we face as Christians"   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   We may think that following Jesus is easy, but it is not. When we follow the Lord, we face the ideology, lies, and mockery of the world. There comes a new friction that we might not have anticipated in our lives. Following Jesus comes with a great cost. Sometimes, though, we may even wonder whether it is all worth it? Sometimes, we feel the pressure from the world to go back to it. What should we do in light of these questions? Do we follow the world or do we persevere in our walk with the Lord?

Part 6 - “A crisis of faith.”   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   Mark 4:35-41 Why did the disciple become fearful? Where was there faith when the big waves crashing into the boat? Why did Jesus rebuke them by saying that they lacked faith?  Let’s find out.  We too may lack faith at times. But the Lord Jesus tells us to be faithful in spite of challenging circumstances. 

Part 5 - Frustrated  With God   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   John 6:60-71 - Following Jesus for who He is and not just for what He gives.  This particular sermon again, is not based on the chapter of the book. But this frustration can be seen among professing Christians in local churches today.       

Part 4 - A Christian's Joy   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   We continue with our sermon series every Sunday.   Psalm 16:11 - "You make known to me the path of life;     in your presence there is fullness of joy;     at your right hand are pleasures for evermore."
