SHARING THE APPLICATION OF THE WORD OF GOD (50-60 minutes) Goal: all members could do and experience the truth of the Word of God. Question: What are the theme and the highlight of last week's sermon?
FLOOD OF LOVE #1 FLOODED WITH HIS LOVE
I. GOD WANTS TO TURN DROUGHT INTO
ABUNDANCE. a. Isaiah 41:17 “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. Many people are trying to seek water but they fail for thirst. Isaiah 41:18 I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water. b. Psalm 29:10-11 10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, And the LORD sits as King forever. 11 The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.
II. IN THIS CHRISTMAS, GOD WANTS TO FLOOD US
WITH HIS LOVE! a. EVERYONE NEEDS LOVE. Genesis 29:30-34 30 Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven 31 years. When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32 So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, “The LORD has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.” 33 Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon. 34 She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi. Some people have their heart empty just like Leah. b. John 4:15-18 15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” Many people’s love account is almost empty c. God wants to flood your life with His miraculous love. Open your heart for God because even though your closest person disappoint you, He will never do it. - Genesis 29:35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she called his name Judah.[a] Then she stopped bearing. - Judah means Praise. - From Judah, the descendants of Leah as born; great people, great kings and even Jesus Christ. Let’s enter December with Judah! With praise! Let’s end 2022 with gratitude because we love Him!
III. CHRISTMAS IS THE PROOF OF GOD’S LOVE FOR
ALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. d. 1 John 4:9-10 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. There is no greater proof then to give the begotten Son/ e. THE CHALLENGE: LET’S RESPOND GOD’S LOVE Romans 10:21 But to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.”
