“FAITH FOR TROUBLED TIMES” - John 14:1, 27
 
THEME:   Live by faith, not sight.
 
INTRODUCTION: 
1. John 14:1, 27:  Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
2. Colossians 3:15:  And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 
 
I.    FAITH IS GREATER THAN                                       .
I. 2 Timothy 1:7: For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2. 2 Corinthians 5:7: for we walk by faith, not by sight.
 
II.   FAITH IS GREATER THAN                                             .
1. Philippians 2:4-5:  Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
2. Acts 2:44-47:And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
3. Instead of selfish, I will be _____________________.
 
III.   FAITH IS GREATER THAN                                       .
1. Matthew 5:14-16:  “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
2. In dark times I will shine with the __________________ of Christ! 
 
CONCLUSION:  2 Corinthians 4:7-9:  But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed
 
WORDS:  darkness, fear, light, sacrificial, selfishness.
