Personal Story:

Story of me and Girlfriend in HS breaking up

• Feelings of rejection, anger… scared

• I felt alone – I was pissed and hurting…so She should be hurting too

  • Wrote a nasty letter

• Felt guilty, but couldn’t feel better

• I had to turn to God and talk to him

Visual:

Hey Ya by Obadiah Parker – set to pictures and videos of people in relationships fighting…

Scripture:

John 8:2-12 – Woman caught in Adultery

Real Life Instance:

My family has an issue. They are full of fear, anger, loneliness and an unwillingness to say so… Adultery.

A lot of us unfortunately can say that we have a similar experience… This is not what God intended. He did not want us to feel the pain we feel because of fear. In fact, the thing that God says more than any other in the entire Bible is this simple phrase – “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Isa. 41:10

Jesus offers hope in the darkest of places. He brings light into the darkest of places…

Challenge:

How would life be different if God could bring light into the darkest of places in your life?
