Message: “SERVICE – God Is Omnipotent” from Tony Edwards

Psalm 115

Introduction

There are many who have suffered significant trauma in life. This could be the loss of a loved one - a parent, spouse, or child. It could be a difficult divorce. Because of a broken or splintered relationship, some find themselves lost, alone, confused, and feeling unloved. As a result, they attempt to feel better and fill the void with things. These trinkets become things that they are just not willing to let go of. Unless someone from the outside comes in to help, and they are willing to accept that help, nothing will change.

When we are born, we enter a world marred by sin, and our relationship with God is broken. Unless we accept the free gift of salvation from God, we will remain lost with nothing but a collection of things - tokens, idols - that we are unwilling to let go of, facing the judgment of the All-Powerful God. We need help. We need a Savior.
