How to Grow Hopeful During Affliction
Romans 5:1-5
Intro
The righteous will live by faith!
-Affliction is the real world moment to see if we really trust God

-Many people like the idea of being a Christian
   -Fewer people want to live for Christ when times get tough

Affliction tempts us to give up
-Think that God has abandoned us

-Think that we are all alone- no one else knows how bad it is

-Think that there is no point living for God
   -The lie from Satan: Christians will never suffer
      -Popular false teachers are claiming health and wealth

How to grow hopeful when afflicted
Trust God’s promise
-We become righteous through faith in Christ

-We are at peace with God

-Affliction does not mean God has abandoned you!
-God isn’t being cruel because of your sinful nature
-Affliction due to sin brings discipline, not condemnation
    -Romans 8:1
    -Hebrews 12:5-11

Keep worshipping God
-Rejoice in affliction- keep your focus on God!
-This does not mean we are happy about affliction
-bad things are bad: cancer, COVID-19, job loss, strife
-Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always.
                           I will say it again: rejoice!
Hebrews 12:2 keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and
                        perfector of our faith.

Don’t give up
-Galatians 6:9 we will reap a blessing if we do not give up
-Affliction proves God’s faithfulness
-God empowers us to endure
-Our proven character leads to greater hope in God
     -we see Him changing us into the likeness of Christ

     -God will not put us to shame for our faith in Him!
        Romans 10:11

What is affliction revealing in you?
Place your hope in Jesus Christ alone!

Return to Jesus Christ as your only hope!

How to Experience True Peace

3/15/2020

March 15, 2020: We long for peace, but what is it and how do we get it? The world tells us that we get peace by acquiring stuff and insuring ourselves against an uncertain future, but Jesus had a very different idea of what truly calms a man’s anxious heart. Today, it is the Coronavirus. Yesterday, it was Ebola, polio, nuclear war, foreign invaders, leprosy, or a happenstance shingle that falls off a roof. If Jesus promises, “…my peace I leave with you” and then follows up with a command, “Do not be troubled or fearful,” do we have permission to insert, “unless….”? In this hour, like every hour since and every hour henceforth, we need His peace.

Today, Pastor Greg Byman launches a new four-part sermon series entitled, “Best Relationship Ever” and today’s message focuses on the art of excellent dating. When a Christian pauses to ask key questions like, “Why should I date? Who should I date? How should I date” that believer is wisely following God’s principles to experience excellent relationships.

Keys to Contentment, Part 2: Practice Being Content

2/4/2018

0 Comments

By Pastor Greg Byman
February 4, 2018, 10:00 a.m.

A search for the word “content” reveals that Scripture has much to say about the matter. In Philippians 4:11, the apostle Paul famously exhorts millennia of fellow Christ-followers, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.”

But how do we become and remain content? Today’s message is called “Practice Being Content” and is the second in a series called “Keys to Contentment.” The sermon was preached on February 4, 2018.

Keys to Contentment
Part 2: Practice Being Content
Philippians 4:11-13   February 4, 2018
Intro
Contentment is a learned response to our circumstances

How to practice contentment
1. Trust God alone
-Matthew 6:33

-Be content “in” your circumstances
-the Bible doesn’t command us to be content “with” where you
     Are
-Paul gratefully received their gifts to help him in his affliction
-He made clear though that he depended on God, not them
   -next week: how giving grows contentment

2. Practice where I am
-1 Timothy 6:6-8

-Remember from last week: God gives us all we have!
Myself                        Romans 12:1
Possessions             Luke 14:33
Time                           Ephesians 5:15-17
Abilities                      1 Peter 4:10

-How are you enjoying what you already have?

-Where are you discontent?
   -An area where you are tempted to sin
            To break a commitment
            To feed your selfish desires and flesh
            To buy what you cannot afford (or refuse to budget)
            To spend your time foolishly
            To ignore good advice from friends, family, the Bible

3. Let God work through me
-vs 13 “I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens
              me”

-Like a power line: I am the line and he is the power!

-Remember: God is the owner; I am the manager
-I must submit to how God wants me to live my life
            -how God wants me to handle what He gave me

-God is waiting to empower me to use the my time, talents, treasures that He gave me!

-Contentment grows when I Practice surrendering myself to
     God, so that He can empower me to wisely use the time,
       talents and treasures that He has already given to me!

Where will I start practicing contentment?
Where am I miserable?

Where do I keep disobeying God and hurting others?

Give up trying to fix your life! You can’t!
