Sunday Manna
1 Chron 29:3
Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver. NKJV
Halfway Point
Press on, you’re almost there!
The halfway point is not a place of permanence.
1. In Urgency, Come
Jesus
Mark 5:21
21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him … NIV
The greater the setback, the greater the miracle.
Mark 5:35
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
Facts may bring fear but faith brings God near.
2. In Uncertainty, Walk
Jesus
Mark 5:36
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” NIV
It’s only facts until Jesus acts.
Facts speak, but faith has the final say.
Start in faith, continue in faith.
Don’t go on fearing the worst, keep believing for the best
The view changes when you’re out of the halfway point.
PRAY in the “no way”.
PRAISE in the “long way”.
TRUST in the “halfway”.
