Some Things God has Never Seen!

I love listening to other preachers. David Gallamore, Johnny Hunt, HB Charles, Jr. and Adrian Rogers are my favorites. Preachers come in all shapes, sizes and sorts. I believe most preachers like listening to other preacher's messages. Many times we take notes and glean truths for our own sermons. We go to conferences to listen to other preachers because it ministers to our heart (we need preaching to!). And preachers also like to get together and share sermon outlines with one another. I prefer to listen to expository preaching (verse by verse), but every now and then, a particular sermon- whether topical or expository- will grab my attention. Such was the sermon that I listened to one Sunday afternoon as I drove home from church. I do not know the Pastor's name. I do not remember the name of his church- other than it was in NC. The sermon grabbed my attention in such a way, that I remained in the car to listen to it's completion. I believe someone reading this blog today needs some encouragement, so I am going to just give a brief synopsis of the message. Just by chance that the Pastor who preached this message is reading this (unlikely), I give you full credit for the outline! 

Again, this is not a theological, homiletical or hermeneutical masterpiece... it is a simple message that ministered to me and reminded me of some truths that I may have forgotten in the midst of difficult times.


Sermon: "Some Things God has Never Seen!"
Scripture: Jeremiah 32.27
Matthew 19.26
Luke 1.37

*If you are in season of trouble, trial, sorrow or suffering, be encouraged today. There are some things that you may be going through that only God can take care of. There are some things He has never seen that may lift your spirit today and give you hope:

1.) God has Never Seen a Situation He Could not Control

Just ask:

A. The Israelites who were in bondage for over 400 years
B. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
C. Daniel
D. Noah
E. Mary, Martha and Lazarus
F. 5000 hungry men (plus their families)
E. The tomb they laid Jesus in

2.) God has Never Seen a Sorrow He Could not Console

*He can handle:

A. The Sorrow of Sin (John 8)
B. The Sorrow of Suffering (Job)
C. Sorrow of Separation (John 14)

3.) God has Never Seen a Sickness He Could not Cure

A. Emotional Sickness (Demoniac, Mark 5)
B. Physical Sickness (Paralytic, Mark 2)
C. Spiritual Sickness (Zacchaeus, Luke 19.9-10)

4.) God has Never Seen a Sinner He Would not Convert

John 3.16
Romans 10.9-10
Romans 10.13
Acts 16.30-34

A. The "Good" (Nicodemus)
B. The "Bad" (Paul)
C. The Indifferent (Peter and Andrew)

*And there are so many more situations in this life that He is the answer for! Nothing- not your problem, not my problem, not your neighbor's problem- is to hard for Him....

Until Next Time,
