Sermon Outline

The Unshakable Hope of Joy 

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. (Psalm 30:5, NLT)


Key Point: God is near to you. 

The Lord is near to all who call on him, (Psalm 145:18, NIV)

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted… (Psalm 34:18, NIV)

 

Key Point: Nothing can separate you from Christ. 

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:36, 37-39, NLT)
