Who Picks Up Pieces of Devastation?

Warning about cliques- they lose power when we are familiar with them.

Clique: God is in control

Text:

            He is the stamp of God

            Firstborn

            He is the agent of creation

            He is the goal of creation

            He is prior to creation

            He sustains creation

You are His creation. He has made you. So He knows you.

The goal of your life is Jesus

Since He is the Lord of creation, worship Him and trust Him.

Worship your way out of devastation (that’s what Paul and Silas did. They worshipped their way out of chains).

Trust Him to pick up the pieces

There is a battle for the glory and character of God. Your job is to prove that character and glory to all His creation.
