A Song for When There’s Nothing Left

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: Minor ProphetsScripture: Joel 1:1-2:11 “That God is love, that he has set his love upon us, that he loves us still, and that his love will never let us go, is the foundation not only of all reality, but of Christian confidence and Christian stability too. Our stability is not only impossible, but actually inconceivable, apart from the steadfastness of the love of God.” John Stott “It might sound strange to consider grief a way to compassion. But it is. Grief asks me to allow the sins of the world—my own included—to pierce my heart and make me shed tears, many tears, for them. … I am beginning to see that much of praying is grieving. This grief is so deep not just because the human sin is so great, but also—and more so—because the divine love is so boundless.” Henri Nouwen “Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down Oh, yes, Lord Sometimes I’m almost level to the ground Oh, yes, Lord Oh, nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen Nobody knows but Jesus Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen Glory, hallelujah!” Traditional African-American SpiritualThe post A Song for When There’s Nothing Left first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
