Preacher: Derrick Harris

Sunday Morning

Date: 1st September 2024

Passage: John 14:15-31

-------------------

We all experience loneliness. (John 14:15-21) If we could do it on our own, then we wouldn’t need a Helper.

The Holy Spirit gives us guidance in our loneliness. (John 14:22-26) If we could do it on our own, then we wouldn’t need a Teacher.

The Holy Spirit gives us transcendental peace in our loneliness. (John 14:27-31) If we could do it on our own, then we wouldn’t need a Savior.

Why it matters: We can’t do it on our own. Jesus endured the loneliness of the cross to end loneliness forever; His presence is the answer to our deepest fears.

Passage: Psalm 121:1-8

-------------------

“What Becomes of the Broken Hearted” By Jimmy Ruffin ... As I walk this land of broken dreams I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion Chorus: What becomes of the broken-hearted Who had love that’s now departed? I know I’ve got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe ... The roots of love grow all around But for me they come a-tumblin’ down Every day heartaches grow a little stronger I can’t stand this pain much longer I walk in shadows searching for light Cold and alone, no comfort in sight Hoping and praying for someone to care Always moving and goin’ nowhere Chorus Help me ... I’m searching, though I don’t succeed But someone look, there’s a growing need Oh, he is lost, there’s no place for beginning All that’s left is an unhappy ending Chorus ... I’ll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I’ll be looking everyday, I know I’m gonna find a way Nothing’s gonna stop me now I’ll find a way somehow What becomes of the broken-hearted What becomes of the broken-hearted
