ANTHEM “‘God, We Spend a Lifetime Growing”-

SCRIPTURE AND SERMON Rev. Steve

The God Centered Life: God Is For You-Psalm 118:5-9, 18

Three areas in your life that you can count on God:
1) You Can Count on God in Times of Trouble

From my distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me in a large place. The Lord is for me; I will not fear; what can man do to me?
Psalm 118:5-6

2) You Can Count on God When You Can Count on No One Else

The Lord is for me among those who help me; it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
Psalm 118:7-9

3) You Can Count on God To Correct You

The Lord has disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death.
Psalm 118:18
