TEXT: Job 3:1-26, Matt. 11:1-6 INTRODUCTION Ordinarily, the journey of life is characterized by confrontations, unforeseen contingencies, disappointments, harassment and oppositions. For the believer there is an added dimension to these because we are the targets of the devil who does not desire us to serve the Almighty God. Thus, he goes all the way to place obstacles in the way of the believer. The zero hour is that moment or situation of helplessness, hopelessness, despondency, despair, disgust, and utter confusion. These are the times of such remarks as “I am fed up”, “Life if not worth living”, “There is no use continuing”, “I am a failure”, etc. Amidst situations such as these, many contemplate all sorts of evil things such as visiting native doctors, joining occultic groups or even suicide. Some indulge in alcohol drinking and all manner of immorality and sin. Some believers too react negatively by backsliding and seeking false helps from unholy sources. John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus Christ (Luke 1:44); he introduced Him to the people as the Lamb of God that will take away the sin of the world, (John...

Learn MoreABUNDANT LIFE HYMN: TO GOD BE THE GLORY! CENTRAL THOUGHT: Life is Christ’s gift and He is “the life”. TEXT: John 10:1-30 INRODUCTION We live in a world where people’s cravings are for the original, the genuine; the real thing. Everyone wants to prove that he is real. The Lord Jesus Christ, in our study text, compares the real with the fake, and the thief with the provider (supplier). If the world ever needed the comparison, it is now! The thief is pretentious; he puts up an appearance that he does not want to deceive. He is not what you see; he is a hypocrite; his interest is in himself. A vital companion characteristic of stealing is lying. Thus, the devil is a thief and a liar, and everyone with either trait or both belongs to the father of lies, the devil (John 8:44, 10:10). The Lord is our father, our dearly beloved creator who holds us in honor and value. He is the embodiment of truth. The truth opens the way, and the way leads to life. Sin has separated man from the truth, the way and the life (John 14:6), who is reality! Man is now faced with darkness, lies and death. He lost...
