Opening Hymn: Oh how he loves you and me by Kurt Kaiser:
Oh, how He loves you and me,
Oh, how He loves you and me.
He gave His life, what more could He give?
Oh, how He loves you,
Oh, how He loves me,
Oh, how He loves you and me.
Jesus to Calvary did go,
His love for sinners to show.
What He did there brought hope from despair:
Oh, how He loves you,
Oh, how He loves me,
Oh, how He loves you and me.
Sermon;
Spiritual teachings suggest that Christ’s sacrifice reconciled all things, bringing the potential for heavenly peace to the earthly realm.This state involves letting go of the need for personal control.
The third heaven is considered the spiritual realm above the earth’s atmosphere and outer space, acting as Our Heavenly Father’s dwelling place.Paul describes being “caught up” to this realm in a vision or experience, which he also refers to as being in “Paradise” in 2 Corinthians 12:4.Paul likely refers to himself in the third person out of humility. He notes that while in this realm, he was caught up into “Paradise.Third Heaven: The dwelling place of Our Heavenly Father and the highest spiritual realm. He will comfort, strengthening faith, and fostering spiritual growth, often using challenges to refine character and increase reliance on Him during periods of trial. He does not leave people alone in their suffering, but offers support through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, allowing individuals to endure with patience and hope.
He acts as a loving guide through the Holy Ghost, scripture study, prayer, and by positioning “destiny helpers” in your path to fulfill His purpose.
He brings specific people into your life—mentors, friends, or leaders—who help you recognize and fulfill your purpose.Regular study of His word acts as a guide, correcting your path and providing the wisdom needed to walk in His will. Our Heavenly Father does not change he is, loving, and reliable, offering a firm foundation for faith. It means letting go of the need for depending on your own abilities, and trusting His, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6. Choosing to trust Our Heavenly Father’s goodness, even when circumstances seem chaotic or uncertain, as noted in Psalm 56:3-4.
“hard is good” because it humbles us and provides a chance to prove our trust in Him. True peace is not the absence of problems, but an inner calm that comes from knowing you are in the hands of a perfect Father who has an eternal plan for you.
Let him know when you pray what your problem is and he will discuss it with you. Ask him to remove it and ask for peace and joy. If you have faith in him and believe he will give you all this.
Closing Hymn: God is in control by Twin Paris:
This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don’t lose the vision here
Carried away by emotion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together
God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control, oh God is in control
History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever
God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control, oh God is in contro
