The Final Word: Week 4, January 28, 2018

Istrouma Baptist Church Podcast

If we are honest, there are moments in life when our hearts are troubled. We get agitated; anxiety and worry overtake us.

Last week we actually talked about some of the common causes for worry. These include: health problems, marriage dynamics, parenting, money, and growing old. We saw that a lot of us are squandering huge hunks of our lives worrying needlessly.

Last Sunday I began a message entitled “Truths for Troubled Hearts” from John 14:1-6. We focused on three truths:

1. The promise of a peace
2. The promise of a place
3. The promise of a path that leads to that place!

Our focal passage today will be John 14:12-16. This morning’s message will be part 2 of “Truths for Troubled Hearts.” In it Jesus has three more encouraging promises for us to claim—the promise of power, the promise of prayer, and the promise of His presence! Let’s explore and embrace these “truths for troubled hearts.”
