Fear can keep us from acting on the God-given desire to tell others about Jesus Christ.  In 2 Corinthians 5, we learn that the love of Christ is the key to overcoming fear in gospel conversations.

From Luke 15 we see that God tirelessly and passionately pursues sinners. Jesus is the friend of sinners, and scandalously so. This is the second sermon from our Multiply series.

In Psalm 69 we see that those that God loves still face suffering, and that suffering may come because of our faith in God. But because Jesus entered into our suffering and ultimately gave his life on a cross for our sins, our suffering is not eternal, but through him brings us redemption and reconciliation to God.

Psalm 68 celebrates God's care and protection for his people—and not just for his people, but for gentiles who do not yet know Him.

In Psalm 63 we read of David's praise lifted to God in spite of dire circumstances, and we discover that the deep well of God's lovingkindness will satisfy us more than any other source.

Psalm 61 shows us one of the paths to trusting the Lord in the midst of hardship and pain. Pastor Michael Wu reminds us that when we go to the Lord in prayer, remember his faithfulness and begin to trust again in his promises, we will be able to give praise to our God who changes sorrow into Joy.

How do we overcome suffering? The Psalmist calls us to sing through our feelings of abandonment and rejection. In Psalm 60 we see David cry out to God, find hope in the promise of God and a renewed dependance on the Lord for the battle before him.

One of the more underrated stories from the Gospels, the ascension of Jesus is the sign of God's glory, and stands as a confirmation of all that the Savior said, and did. 

From John 17:6-19 we learn that in his last hours Jesus prayed that God would keep his disciples faithful, grant them joy, make them holy, and send them on mission.
