    There are seasons when all of us may go through dark times. The emotional weight can be so heavy that it leaves us feeling hopeless. Today, Pastor Gary draws on a story from Acts 27 to bring hope to the hopeless, whatever the situation might be. Hope is like oxygen-with it we thrive; without it we can die. But God is the God of hope and comfort who will help us in our time of need. Listen as Pastor Gary shares six principles from Acts 27 to help us have God’s hope.

    Don't rely on the encouragement of other people. Be encourage by the word of God written in the Bible. Nothing will encourage anyone the way God does. The words of God written in the Bible will calm your soul and He gives hope and peace.

    God, please be with us, the hopeless who seek your comfort and direction. May you lay your hands on those who are hurting, and to the ones who don't yet know your love and salvation, touch them, Lord. In God's name, AMEN. Touch Ryan's heart Lord. Lead him out of hopelessness and to your light.🙏🙏🏽

    I'm so glad Jesus led me to you... I listen to you daily if at all possible. I make notes and learn so much. I'm a 69 year old mother and grandmother who has suffered depression and anxiety most of my life, as did my mother. She went to her grave an unhappy woman.
    My fears now are my family. I have one brother who has COPD and at any point could get covid or the flu, pneumonia and die. My daughtersare all hard working and stable, but with times the way they are they need to lean into Jesus and be prepared. Especially my grandchildren. They aren't saved, to my knowledge. The youngest are just 5 and 7. The rest are young adults. From 26 to 17.
    Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Thank you. Keep peaching and teaching!! 🙏🙏

    Thank you so much, been reading Acts and watching, but today there was so much that was meant for me today!
    Amazing!
    I went to my bible to read psalm 40, and when i opened it, i saw that i had just circled it, and the bookmark was still there from day ago when i fell asleep reading that bible! (I have more than one)
    I regret that i could not find a bus to take me dlwn to DC fkr todays March for Israel!
    But perhaps someday i can visit Cornerstone in person, and help park cars and direct traffic!!

    We are ALL hopeless, but because of Christ we have hope, hope of a future! And also to Gary Hamrick..keep in mind evangelism is one beggar showing another beggar where the food is! Stay humble, know that you nor anyone else can save a soul but Christ, you do not dictate, don't grasp human beings by the jugular! Keep it simple and kind ,knowing at ALL times it's by Christ finished work on the Cross that we are saved, not by your determination and judgment!!

    • @jennifercockfield3218

      Did Gary say otherwise? Are you listening to the same thing as everyone else is, Deborah? You’re going to have to give me a minute mark for me to remotely understand what you are referring to. I really hope you see this (albeit over a week later).

    This is for cherriebrown:
    Cherrie,
    It is a Spiritual battle you are fighting, and the wrong way. This battle is not up to you to fight in the first place. Yes, to pray and to stand your ground, but you must surrender your son and this battle to Jesus. Lay it at the base of His, Jesus' cross in prayer. Leave it there!!! Stop trying to solve it yourself, you cannot! Then release your son completely.
    If he lives with you open your front door and send him away from your home. Kick him out.
    Love must be tough. Dr. James Dobson's book, read it!!
    Ask God for His help for you, not for your son. You need it more than your son does. He is not wanting help. Until he does want help, leave him alone.
    Pray for him. Tough love is for you too. Get tough on yourself too. Tell this son you are finished with helping him. You do not want to have anything to do with someone who does not want help. Then mean it. Get tough. You and the whole family do the same with this drug addict. Get tough with him.

    . My granddaughter and her ex both walked away from the lord for many reasons.
    I pray they return to the Lord and teach their children Jesus loves them. They have to forgive parents who were backslidden but returned. We hurt people when we walk away. Its not just ourselves.
    Lord i know you forgive the people who hurt us. Help us to forgive them and ourselves

  • @jamesthomas249
    @jamesthomas249 Před 8 měsíci +1

    A lesson to remember when you fail to love and have faith in God‘s word. See Genesis 3:3-4 the first lie told to mankind;
    Genesis 3
    3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
    If only they had listen to God and trust in his words…. but what about you? Would you accept and trust? God word here in
    Matthew 3:17
    And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
    Will you???? continue to say Jesus Christ is the only God? Contradicting God words, just as satan the devil DID????
