Life Through Brokenness

Life Through Brokenness

Psalm 51:17 (NIV) - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Life Through Brokenness

The Condition of Our World

The Condition of Our Heart

Surrender To Our Savior

The Condition of Our World

John 3:19 (NIV)19  This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

The Condition of Our World

We prefer evil

We prefer our own way

We prefer Jesus as our “life insurance” instead of surrendering our lives to Him to enjoy the fullness life has to offer.

The Condition of Our Heart

Deuteronomy 8:2 (NIV) Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

The Condition of Our Heart

We are prideful.

We are worldly.

We are guarded.

We are faithless.

We are broken.

•Humble

•Spiritual

•Genuine

•Faithful

•Whole

Life Through Brokenness

God is more interested in your heart than your circumstances.

Surrender to the Savior

James 1:12 (NIV) - Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Surrender to Our Savior

Stop pretending.

Acknowledge our weakness.

Accept our inability.

Find healing in our vulnerability

Surrender to Our Savior

John 10:10 (NIV) - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Life Through Brokenness

Brokenness opens the door for Christ to

restore us to wholeness.
