Scripture at Sunrise 6.22.2020

And Asa cried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is none like You to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on You, and in Your Name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against You.” -2 Chronicles 14:11

Asa knew he was outnumbered and he cried to God for help. He looks not to his resources, but to his Source.

-Steve Wainright (excerpt from Sunday Evening Sermon from  2 Chronicles 14 King Asa of Judah)

Sunday Morning | Pastor Steve Wainright | Man’s Greatest Need | Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” -Romans 1:16-17

The greatest need for all mankind is salvation and it is the Gospel of God that has power for salvation. In the Gospel, God’s righteousness is revealed and it reveals our own sinfulness and need. The righteousness God reveals He gives to sinners.

Scripture at Sunrise 2.1.2012

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” -James 1:27

“How can any of us who have tasted the extravagant love of Christ be stingy with our resources? Doesn’t His compassion toward us make us naturally disposed to help those in need? If we see someone who has a need that we can meet, how can our heart not want to help them? Won’t we love the fatherless, and the widow, and the shut-in, and the homeless, since we know that we once were fatherless, estranged from the Father, disabled, and headed for eternal separation from God?”

Scripture at Sunrise 8.29.2011

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -2 Corinthians 12:9

When I’m weak, that’s when self is pushed out of the way and Christ shines brighter.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. -Hebrews 4:16

How many times have we been too busy worrying to pray about something? When you are overwhelmed, the King of Kings says, “Come to Me.” He will always supply what you need.
