 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Psalm 61:1-3 -To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer. From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me. For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

Subject: When Our Lives Become Overwhelming

• Beware of false prophets, fighting, arguing, mass shootings, serious illnesses, etc.
• We can become overwhelmed being involved or even thinking about these types of things.
• We are not immune to these things.
• What to do when life becomes overwhelming?
• Acknowledge that we are overwhelmed. 
• 1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
• Cast your burdens to the Lord and then rest. 
• Psalm 116:7 - Oh God, we rest in you.
• Psalm 100:1-2 - Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
• It's not a sin to become overwhelming because we know we can't do this by ourselves. 
• All to Jesus, I surrender. James 4:7; Matthew 16:25; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 12:2
• We must take our mines off ourselves and turn to Jesus. Also, when we think of others in similar situations and prays for them, this helps us.
• We know that God's will be done in all situations. God is always in control.
• Don't isolate yourself from others by thinking you can handle things that come up in your life. Satan wants to separate us from the Word of God by keeping us from others.
• Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. John 10:10
• But If God be for us, who is against us? Romans 8:31
