THE BEST FISH I EVER CAUGHT

Dave KenagyMay 23, 2010

BEING LOST IS ONE THING. . .

HOWEVER…

BEING LOST AND KNOWING IT. . .

. . . IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING

HOW DO I KNOW I AM LOST?

• AROUND TOWN…..• IN THE WOODS…..

•SPIRITUALLY?

THE BIBLE, GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT: MY MAP AND COMPASS

• JOHN 16:8 • And the Helper, when He comes, will convict

the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment . . .

• “CONVICT”: to be overcome with awareness of the truth about what I am doing right or wrong

If I know I’m lost is there any hope?

• Remember why Jesus came to earth?

• Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

THE BEST OLD CAR I EVER SAW

A RUSTED HULK WITH . . .• MISSING FENDERS• ABSENT DOORS• BROKEN FRAME• CRACKED GLASS• FRAYED WIRES• NO ENGINE

THE OLD BEAST WAS RESTORED

LIKE NEW!

WHAT DOES GOD DO WHEN HE FINDS ME LOST AND ALONE?

PSALM 23:1-2“THE LORD IS MY SHEPERD I SHALL NOT WANT.

HE LEADS ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.

HE RESTORES MY SOUL.”

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?• ARE YOU LOST AND NEEDING

RESTORATION TODAY?

• JAMES 4:8 “DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.”

ASK FOR HELP!• PHIL. 4:6-7

“BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MAKE KNOWN TO GOD.

AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL COMPREHENSION, SHALL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS IN CHRIST JESUS”.
