Sermon 5-25-03

Memorial day
Time to remember---time to despair

Pretending-- Carly simon

Psalmist…I know a place where worship is found
Where life’s issues are left behind

Problems
Let down
Ups and downs
Facing problems in life

Jacob
Running from Laban, fearing esau
Left alone….wrestled with the angel

Sometimes going to church is not enough
Bow down in worship….Pray til the only thing that matters is God
Let go of everything that ever held you back
Nothing left but a clean heart

Depths of problems…..

Can only hold onto one thing in life at a time
We tend to let go of problems….but we don’t let go
Take last finger tips off of problems
Cant let go until every part of you is grasping God
Carry too much that you can t hold it all


Conclusion
I know a place….where you can meet with God
Peace
Comfort
