Sermon “A Simultaneous Sign” – Pastor Scott Brubaker-Zehr – sermon audio

Lamentations 3:19-26

¹⁹ The thought of my affliction and my homelessness is wormwood and gall!  ²⁰ My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me.  ²¹ But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: ²² The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; ²³ they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  ²⁴ “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”  ²⁵ The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.  ²⁶ It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:13-16

¹³ No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.  ¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, flee from the worship of idols.  ¹⁵ I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.  ¹⁶ The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ?  The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
