Sermon Outline

As Christians, how should we respond to the tragedy which is unfolding before our eyes? We must go back to the basic promises of God remembering that He:

  1. Has Promised the Salvation of His People (Romans 10:13; John 6:37, 10:28)
  2. Has Promised Suffering among His People (Romans 8:17-18; Philippians 1:29)
  3. Has Promised Sanctification in His People (Romans 8:28; 1 Peter 1:6-7)
  4. Has Promised Security to His People (Romans 8:29-30)
