Series: Dealing With Everything: Answers to Life’s Challenges
Everything Broken: How Life Gets Better
Pastor Susie Gamez
God meets our brokenness with brokenness
1.) God is broken because of us
Genesis 6:5-6 (NLT)
The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart.
2.) God is broken with us
John 11:35 (NIV) – Jesus wept.
Hebrews 13:3 (NIV)
“Remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
3.) God is broken for us
Matthew 26:26 (NKJV)
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
Matthew 14:19 (NKJV)
Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
Hebrews 4:14-16 (NIV)
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
