Killing Lions-Killing The Lion Of Despair Series

Conclusion: I want to close today with a scripture that is probably very familiar to us all. I heard it twice this week at funerals. Funerals can be a time of despair and this scripture really deals with our despair. But today I want us to see that this scripture applies to our life everyday. Lets read together: [Screen 26]“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. [Screen 27] My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? [Screen 28] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. [Screen 29] You know the way to the place where I am going.

Jesus is the way. Jesus is the way to kill our lions. Let Him take your battle today. Wont you come. Repent and be baptized in Jesus Christ.
