Sermon Excerpt

There's the pattern. And God is revealing something by this pattern. He is revealing how He deals with you. One of the ways that He matures you is by this pattern of down and then up. This is one way that He gives you a greater experience of the gift of His life, eternal life. This is one way that He makes you more like Jesus. Bear in mind that Jesus' own life was all about down and then up.

So, do you see what I've done? I've given you a tool to understand your life. This can help you understand parts of your past. And it can be very helpful as you deal with parts of your future. It can help you understand what God is doing. Down and then up.
