Topic: Promise Keeper
Discussed by Justin Holcomb
with God Made All of Me (www.GodMadeAllOfMe.com)
Day 5
Pastor Justin
Holcomb concludes the summer series this week entitled: “Promise Keeper”. The focus each week will be on a different promise from God found in the Bible – both the Old and New Testaments. His sermon this week is on Acts 1:6-9 “So when they had come together, they asked him,
'Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?' He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.' And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.”

Stay close to Jesus and keep gathering with other believers.

Pastor Averri

His sermon this week is on Isaiah 40:31 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Is the storm you’re facing overwhelming? Does the rain seem to be coming down on you on all sides? (Exodus 19:4)
Yesterday, Pastor Averri shared some encouragement through a story about his daughter’s high school graduation. Today, he reminds us that every day is sweeter than the day before. As we are waiting, we can have confidence that God is working!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Why should we wait on God? Because He has been waiting on us! Even when your circumstances don’t change, God changes you in your circumstance. And just because He is silent in the moment, that doesn’t mean He isn’t present in your life.
Encouraging Scripture to meditate on this week:
Lamentation 3:25; Psalm 27:14; Psalm 40:1

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
How is your “patience level”? Do you want things “right here and right now”? Do you sometimes become frustrated when your prayer isn’t answered immediately? Pastor Averri reminds us that “God uses the discipline of waiting in the life of the believer because in between the promise and the performance of the promise, God is preparing you.”
Do you ever feel alone while you’re waiting? Pastor Averri says there is a reason for that, too! Listen as he explains…

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
OUR FUTURE
British New Testament scholar and retired Anglican Bishop N.T. Wright once stated: “The
Greek word nyn ‘now’ is important
here. There is therefore now no condemnation. This is both logical (now
therefore) and temporal (in the present time). The future verdict can be
announced in the present, because the Messiah has dealt with his people’s sins,
and the spirit indwells them to bring them to resurrection.”
Why did Paul bookend Romans 8 with “no condemnation” with “no separation”? (Romans 8:31-39)
FINAL THOUGHTS:
“No separation” is possible because “no condemnation” is a reality. It’s a promise that we can claim and cling to from now until the day we stand before God.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

How are we united “in Christ”? (Romans 3:24; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:13)
What sins cause you guilt? What do you wish you could stop doing but just can’t seem to stop?
Pastor Jarrett challenges everyone to write down our sins in our Bible (YES IN OUR BIBLE) and then write the words “no condemnation” next to it! Listen as he explains why we must reject condemnation.
Why is Satan called the “accuser of the brethren”? (Revelation 12:10)

What if all of your impure thoughts, bad words spoken, selfish motives, and immoral acts were on display for all to see? Would you cringe and hide in fear of judgement?
Remember: God knows ALL you have done and STILL loves you and He will NEVER stop loving you!
What is the only thing stopping God from condemning us all? (Romans 5:8-9; 18-19; Romans 6:22-23; Romans 7:25; Romans 8:1)
Eugene Peterson in his Message translation refers to “condemnation” as “a continuous, low lying black cloud” that is over our lives.
OUR PRESENT
There are two present realities we can cling to when remembering our salvation in Christ:
We are free from the law of sin. (Romans 8:2)
We are free to live by the Spirit. (Romans 8:3-4)
