…but
GOD
Ephesians
2:1
- 10
Shaving
off
the
beard
The
Children
of
Israel
travelled
40
years
to
reach
the
promised
land…
We
recently
travelled
40
days
of
lent
to
reach
the
other
side
of
the
cross.
Your
life
may
have
been
full
of
struggle
and
confusion…
…maybe
the
victory
over
your
old
self
seemed
impossible…
It
may
have
seemed
dark
and
hopeless
at
times…
So
read
what
verse
4 of
our
scripture
lesson
says…
Eph
2:4
-
“But
God,
…being
rich
in
mercy,
because
of
the
great
love
with
which
He
loved
us,
even
when
we
were
dead
in
our
trespasses,
made
us
alive
together
with
Christ—by
grace
you
have
been
saved—
and
raised
us
up
with
Him
and
seated
us
with
Him
in
the
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus,
so
that
in
the
coming
ages
He
might
show
the
immeasurable
riches
of
His
grace
in
kindness
toward
us
in
Christ
Jesus.”
We
started
our
journey
of
reconciliation
over
40
days
ago.
We
recognized
our
helpless
position
without
a
Savior.
We
recognized
our
need
to
repent
from
dead
works
and
receive
newness
of
life.
We
reflected
on
all
what
Jesus
accomplished
on
the
cross
–
and
His
victory
over
death
through
the
resurrection.
Now
we
stand
at
the
other
side
of
the
bloody
cross
and
the
empty
tomb
and
discover
our
new
position
in
Christ.
We
say
“God
is
Love”
and
we
sing
“Jesus
Loves
Me”
–
but
do
we
recognize
just
how
much
He
really
does
love
us?
We
have
to
realize
that
it
is
an
unconditional,
un-compromisable
love.
Romans
8:31,
32
says
“What
then
shall
we
say
to
these
things?
If
God
is
for
us,
who
is
against
us?
He
who
did
not
spare
His
own
Son,
but
delivered
Him
over
for
us
all,
how
will
He
not
also
with
Him
freely
give
us
all
things?”
“the
immeasurable
riches
of
His
grace”
?
What
great
thing
would
you
dare
to
accomplish
if
you
truly
believed
God
was
for
you?
Do
you
have
the
right
kind
of
faith?
Do
you
have
a
faith
that
is
truly
based
on
God’s
Word
–
and
not
false
religious
ideas?
Do
you
believe
that
God
is
for
you
–
that
He
is
not
working
against
you?
Psalm
143:10
(Aramaic)
“And
teach
me
to
do
your
pleasure,
because
you
are
my
God;
your
Spirit
is
sweet;
you
will
lead
me
in
the
way
of
life.”
It
hit
me
really
clearly
the
other
morning
–
God
is
not
trying
to
hinder
us.
Psalm
18:32
–
“It
is
God
who
arms
me
with
strength
and
keeps
my
way
secure.”
When
the
prodigal
son
went
home,
he
knew
if
he
could
get
back
into
the
family,
he
could
get
back
into
the
safety
and
benefits
–
the
favor
of
being
a
part
of
the
family.
He
had
broken
off
– he
had
severed
ties
– he
had
basically
declared
his
own
father
already
dead
–
but
now
he
wanted
back
in.
We
were
basically
the
same
way
when
we
were
lost
in
sin.
We
were
cut-off
from
the
family.
Verse
4:
But
God,
being
rich
in
mercy,
because
of
the
great
love
with
which
he
loved
us,
even
when
we
were
dead
in
our
trespasses,
made
us
alive
together
with
Christ—by
grace
you
have
been
saved—
and
raised
us
up
with
him
and
seated
us
with
him
in
the
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus,
so
that
in
the
coming
ages
he
might
show
the
immeasurable
riches
of
his
grace
in
kindness
toward
us
in
Christ
Jesus.
You
were
wandering
through
your
own
wilderness
–
and
with
no
idea
how
to
turn
things
around
and
find
your
way
to
the
promised
land
you
always
dreamed
of…
…But
GOD…
(a
Divine
interruption
to
the
devil’s
corruption)
It
hit
me
last
Wednesday
morning
that
without
the
“but
GOD”
we
can
stay
stuck.
Still
living
in
our
past
regrets.
(cortisol)
Maybe
even
hopelessness.
He
makes
your
way
perfect.
He
surrounds
you
with
favor
as a
shield.
Step
out
of
the
past
–
and
walk
away
from
the
darkness
that
you
only
thought
you
could
never
escape.
“Put
aside
the
deeds
of
darkness…”
1
John
1:5
–
“This
is
the
message
we
have
heard
from
him
and
declare
to
you:
God
is
light;
in
him
there
is
no
darkness
at
all.”
There
can
be
no
darkness
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord.
It
does
not
matter
what
things
looked
like
before
you
walked
in
here
this
morning.
Right
here
–
right
now
– is
your
place
of
rest.
It
doesn’t
matter
how
old
you
are,
either.
His
mercies
are
new
every
morning.
“The
one
thing
that
makes
us
all
the
same
in
this
room
today
is
that
we
are
all
struggle”
Don’t
get
self-righteous
and
say
“No,
I’m
not”
(…for
all
have
sinned)
We
all
are
in
need
of a
savior.
In
need
of
His
grace
and
mercy
(every
morning)
and
we
all
need
His
favor
to
walk
victoriously
in
this
life
on
earth.
(crazy
place
nowadays)
Raise
your
hands
to
the
sky
and
say,
“I’m
messed
up.”
“I
need
a
Savior”
“But
God,
…being
rich
in
mercy,
because
of
the
great
love
with
which
He
loved
us,
even
when
we
were
dead
in
our
trespasses,
made
us
alive
together
with
Christ—by
grace
you
have
been
saved—
and
raised
us
up
with
Him
and
seated
us
with
Him
in
the
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus,
so
that
in
the
coming
ages
He
might
show
the
immeasurable
riches
of
His
grace
in
kindness
toward
us
in
Christ
Jesus.”
“God
doesn’t
love
you
any
less,
even
when
your
life’s
a
mess.”
We
may
have
been
travelling
through
the
wilderness
of
our
life’s
journey
–
but
now
we
are
on
the
other
side
of
calvary…
the
other
side
of
the
bloody
cross
and
the
empty
tomb.
Now
is
the
time
to
claim
the
victory
that
has
already
been
won
for
us
on
that
old
rugged
cross.
God
can
turn
your
mess
around
and
replace
it
with
favor.
The
favor
of
the
King.
The
King
of
Kings.
It
doesn’t
matter
what
that
mess
is…
no
mess
is
too
big
for
God.
Maybe
the
mess
is
Sin
–
but
maybe
it
is
Sickness.
Maybe
it
is
Fear.
(“fear
hath
torment”)
Maybe
it
is
Financial.
Emotional.
Relational.
What
part
of
this
was
left
out
when
Jesus
paid
it
all?
GOD
want
to
show
you
“the
immeasurable
riches
of
His
grace
in
kindness
toward
us
in
Christ
Jesus.”
1
John
3:8
–
“Dear
children,
let
us
not
love
with
words
or
speech
but
with
actions
and
in
truth.”
God
expects
that
out
of
us.
Don’t
you
know
God
also
loves
us
in
that
same
way…
-
not
just
“with
words
or
speech
but
with
actions
and
in
truth?”
Psalm
84:11
– “
…the
LORD
will
give
grace
and
glory:
no
good
thing
will
He
withhold
from
them
that
walk
uprightly.
Romans
8:32
–
“He
who
did
not
spare
his
own
Son,
but
gave
him
up
for
us
all--how
will
he
not
also,
along
with
him,
graciously
give
us
all
things?”
You
need
help
today?
God
says,
“Call
to
Me,
and
I
will
answer
you…”
God
is
not
far
away.
Col
1:19
– 23
(read)
To
think
God
is
not
for
you
today
– to
believe
you
are
distant
from
His
love
and
life-changing
power
– is
to
misunderstand
the
power
of
the
cross.
The
Cross
overrides
your
weakneses.
But
GOD…
