Sermon on June 23 by Elder Nico van Opstal

Scripture: Psalm 1

 

2 pictures of a tree:

Which of these 2 pictures illustrates best your relationship with God?

Jeremiah 17:5-8, 2 ways to live:

• put my confidence in human ability
• put my confidence in the Lord

How do we know that we fully put our confidence in the Lord?
What can we learn from the tree sending out its roots to the water?
How do we do that in our walk/life with Jesus?
What can we learn from Ps 1:2-3 in that respect?

A challenge for this summer: be online connected with the Lord!
Promise:

circumstances cannot steal our joy
we will not drift away from Jesus
our lives will be fruitful for the Lord

How can you look more similar to a tree sending out its roots to the water?
