Sermon Focus Points
►One of the foundations of our Restored Gospel, is at the times in our lives when we are confused, uncomfortable, and struggling, God provides us the opportunity to reach out to Him in prayer.
►When separately from our loved ones, whether it be friends, family or church family, we must remember to use any means to keep in contact and let your loved ones know you will pray for them.
►When you find yourself in a challenging situation, what is your response? Do we recognize the blessings we have already received from God?
►There is power in prayer, whether it be personal prayer or united prayer as we pray together as the body of Christ.
►When we have afflictions, discomfort, and loneliness, remember to pray, and seek administration from the Elders.
►While our wanderings bring us many sorrows and lose us many blessings (life isn’t always easy), to the heart which truly chooses God, He has graciously said: “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee” (it is worth it).
