A Little While
A little while can change how everything looks or even feels, but it never changes what God said and promised
Opening scripture
John 12:12-16
In a little while the crowd went from laying down the red carpet to calling out
“Crucify Him“
They Remembered
John 16:16-18
What God is doing may not always make sense in the moment because unclear to us doesn’t mean it’s out of His control
John 16:19,20
Weeping: To express deep sorrow with visible emotion
Lament: is grief that has language (groaning) Pain that speaks
Sorrow to Joy: Divine transfer of pain into purpose
Romans 8:18
The Turning Point
John 16:21,22
Appointed pain ( not random) in some seasons of life are not punishment they are the process
The Joy becomes stronger than the memory of the suffering
What is born redefines, what was endured!
Ask in His Name, Live in His Love
John 16:23-28
Ask in My Name:
His Authority
His Will
Based on His Finished Work
That your Joy may be Full: Prayer it’s not just about answers, it’s about the Joy of our relationship with God
Do you now believe?
John 16:29-33
Faith that is untested is often unproven
What feels like a lifetime to us is only
A Little While to God, but when it passes, we stand in Victory, find more
Clarity and our Joy is Full!
