God Loves You, Hesed Pt. 6: God's Love, The Place of Courage in the Chaos

Ordinary Time - God Loves You
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
God Loves You, Hesed Pt. 6
God's Love, The Place of Courage in the Chaos

The times we live in are not easy, they are chaotic, it can be a challenge to not be overwhelmed by anger or grief or unrest.

Yet, within our life, God's "hesed" love is the center, it is the place of courage and confidence, it's a place to stand in the chaos and confusion...

Join us as Tim continues our summer series on God's Love:
God Loves You - Hesed

Sometimes we have been told in our lives various sayings
"God loves you, but…"
"God loves you, and…"
"God loves you, therefore…"

But what if it's simpler, more profound, more powerful, more transforming, and more beautiful than that.

God Loves You

What does this mean for you and me? It means EVERYTHING.
God's love, God's faithfulness, God's mercy, God's grace, God's kindness, and God's loyalty.

God's intense love for us cannot be overtaken even by a whole nation of people. God is always working in and throughout history, and there is nothing nor anyone who can stop the work of His love for each one of us.
God is everywhere, in ALL things, holding EVERYTHING together, and yet God is also immediately close to each one of us.

We continue our look at God's "hesed" love as we look at the reading from Psalm 6.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

My soul is in deep anguish.
How long, Lord, how long?
Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.

Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?
I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.

My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.

The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
