Sunday Morning Series - Attaining Completion - But I need...

Text:  Exodus 15, 16, and 17

From too much water to no water, Israel keeps having water problems. Three days after the Red Sea opened for them to pass through, they found no water. Supplies likely dwindled, setting them up for a test at Marah.

Finally, they see water, but it's bitter. Instead of asking Moses or praying to God for water, they murmured against Moses. God looked at the situation and found it had everything they needed.

We shake our heads at their unbelief, but what do we see in our lives? How do we react when we need a job, money to pay a bill, or a promotion at work? It seems the answer may be on the horizon, but it doesn't work out. Do we become disillusioned, embittered instead of being patient and enduring.

What did God use to meet their need? He used what they had -  bitter water and a tree. All through scripture we see this happening. Jesus used the boy's lunch to feed a multitude. God multiplied the oil of a widow to free her from debt and provide for her and her sons.

Sunday Morning Series - Attaining Completion - Panic or Patience

Text:  Exodus 13:17-14:31

Pressure causes us to move/change. To the Hebrew, if God didn't do something to stop an event, they viewed Him as responsible for it. God put stops in Pharoah's way, but he blew through them until Egypt was nearly devastated.

The Israelites lacked patience. One of the great characteristics of carnal people:

  They're really up or they're really down.

When Moses asked Pharoah to let his people go, Pharoah made their life harder. The people were unhappy. When he finally let them go, they rejoiced. Their arrival at the Red Sea with the Egyptian army chasing them sent them into a panic. When they crossed over on dry land and saw their enemies drown, they celebrated. The pattern continued throughout the years. They never learned to trust God in the hard times no matter how He showed Himself faithful.

God doesn't like crybabies. When trials come, we'd do much better to pray:

"God, this has come up, but I thank You that You have the answer. James says if we ask for wisdom You'll give it to us. Give me wisdom and show me what to do."

God has a way for you to get through whatever challenges you're facing. When pressure comes, endure and stay with what God told you to do. Don't turn on your boss, your family, or church leaders and blame them for your situation. Trust God to bring you through and don't freak out.

Sunday Morning Service - Attaining Completion - Patience - Not Just Good Character

Text:  James 1:2-8

1.  But I Have Needs!

     A.  If I am insufficient in an area, then I am in lack or I have a need.

           Many needs are recorded in Scripture. See John 13:29, Acts 2:45, Acts 4:34-35,
Luke 9:11, 2 Corinthians 11:9, I John 3:17

     B.  Should there be times of need? See Hebrews 4:6, Titus 1:5. Just because I have needs
doesn't mean I can't have joy or patience.

2.  Many people say that trials produce patience. That's incorrect. It's the testing of our faith that produces patience.

3.  Why do we have impatience? When I have a need now, and it doesn't change. It's fine to have a need, but we have to handle it right.

4.  How is patience produced? The trial you fall into - God didn't lead you there. When you fall into it, be glad, count it all joy.The trial will test our faith. We need "bull-dog faith," a total refusal to let go of the word and promises of God.

5.  When we fall into a trial:

     A.  Maintain our joy. Don't get mad, angry, or whine.
     B.  You may fall into various trials, but don't walk into them. Let God guide you around them.
     C.  Your need may not be revealed yet, but James tells us to"let patience have its perfect work..."
which means it's up to you.
     D.  Ask for what you need in faith, without no doubting. Remember, just because you have doubt in your head doesn't mean it's in your heart. Stay in faith.
