Giving Update
The ministry of SHC is funded entirely by the
generous giving of Gods people. You will
notice that we do not pass the offering plate;
however, there are offering boxes in the back
of the auditorium. We believe from the Word
of God that the Spirit of God will lead people
towards giving back to God of their first fruits.
...God loves a cheerful giver, (2 Cor. 9:7).

Please prayerfully consider what the Lord

would have you do.

LUKE
Part 33
Yep, Hes the One
Luke 7:18-35
Presented by
Pastor Matt MacCollin
August 9, 2015

Welcome this Sunday August 9th. How are you doing? This
is where we are trained to say, Fine. But really, is there
anything this week you are dealing with that you wish was
different, anything that causes you to ask questions of God?
Many come in on any given Sunday, puzzled. They know
God exists and even believe the statement that without faith
its impossible to please Him, but they question His methods,
doubt He is in control, worry about the future. Can you relate
to this?
Now, please imagine for a moment sitting in a prison for
doing the right thing. The real bummer is that youre pretty
sure theyre going to kill you. That would be a fiery trial.
True? That would be beyond difficult. In that situation you
might find yourself questioning God. Especially when you

know He has the power to take out the wicked government

that put you there.
There was a man sent from God and his name was John.
He believed Gods Word. He was confident in his walk as
the Spirit led him. He proclaimed Jesus clearly to anybody
within earshot.
Fact is, he understood exactly what his
mission on earth was, but today as we study again in the
Book of Luke, we will see this man sent from God sitting in
prison, befuddled.
The question John asks and the answers Jesus gives, relate
directly to you and me as well.

REVIEW

John knew his whole life what his purpose was.

John knew Jesus was the Messiah.

John was bold.

He confronted sin.

He proclaimed it!

HUMAN CONFUSION

You can, and often will, become confused in the midst of

fiery trials.

God can handle

your questions and is not discouraged

by your discouragement.

Often God will handle your questions with, Slow down.

Prayerfully

look to the visible evidences of Gods work

around you and to Gods Word for your answers.
Remain thankful.

Jesus said well off and happy is that person who is not
tripped up by the way He does things.

Notice

Jesus did not tell John everything, but what He

told him was enough for his circumstances and
questions.

SALVATIONS CONFIDENCE

God

has confidence in His people, for He will finish the

good work He began in you.

You, in heaven, will be greater than the greatest prophet

to walk this earth. But you need this Savior to get there.

Self-reflective

believers work through

knowing God is just, trusting His ways.

God does life His way.

their

doubts

Peace is found in His wisdom.

IMPORTANT CONCLUSION

Placing your faith in Christ for salvation is the only way

to have His confidence.

Do you believe that God loves you and will work all things
together for good as you love Him, or is there something
hardening your heart toward Christ?

What do you need to bring to the throne of grace today?
