Lakeside Presbyterian
Sunday, July 13, the sermon will be “How to be Confident,” from Hebrews 1”1-13.
Discouragement. Who hasn’t—at some time or another—felt pulled toward the mire of self-pity and despair? Life’s problems can suck the emotional wind from our sails. When discouragement comes—the kind of discouragement that screams questions at the faith—we need encouragement and perspective; we need the community of faith; and we need help to stay committed. Hebrews was written to offer such help.

Lake Chapala Baptist
God never asks us to fake our emotions. Throughout Scripture, He invites us to come as we are—angry, broken, or confused. Jonah raged at God’s mercy; Job questioned His justice; David cried out in distress. Yet God did not condemn—He listened, responded gently, and proclaimed His sovereignty. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” This reminds us that God welcomes our pain. He doesn’t turn away but stays near and transforms us. Even when we don’t understand Him, He remains faithful and close to those who call on Him.
