Sermon – April 5, 2020

Posted by Trinity Baptist Church of Octavia on Sunday, April 5, 2020

Service was held inside. Video starts with Pastor Randy Keiss at the podium. These times, the world is telling everyone to stay home. God says that we need to go and spread the gospel. The devil is loving that everyone is staying home. This don’t seem to be the time that we tell people to go throughout the world and spread the gospel. We read earlier that sometimes God sends these things to chasten us and lets them stay for a long time. Now understand – God very well could be chastening us. And until we understand and repent he’ll chasten us. Why does he do that? Because he loves us. I know we live in a world today that shows us showing love means getting away with anything. That’s not love Moms and Dads, you’re going to love this- the Bible says ‘beat them with a rod and they shall not die’. We learn that from God, our Father. Every once in a while God has to spank us. See Satan offers us a good time, but it only lasts for a season. It will not leave you fulfilled.

TRUST IN GOD AND FAITH. In I Kings – God sent fire down to consume the sacrifice and the altar. He then caused a drought in the land. After the drought God made it rain. Moses asked – show me your glory. God said I wont show you my front but ill walk by and you can see me behind. God doesn’t let us see what he’s got planned for us but he does show us the finished product when its complete.
