Trust in the Lord - A short speech to a Thai church

Oy, our awesome translator, did a good job
(from what I could tell, haha).
At a street church in Pattaya, Thailand, I gave a sermon about trusting in Jesus. It had become so important to me at the time (and still is) that I had to share it with others. Luckily, this opportunity was given to me and I spoke briefly through a translator to this Thai congregation.

Below is the audio file (edited because you probably don't know Thai). It's about 8 minutes long... now that's a short sermon!

Here is the outline:

  • Intro.
  • Tell your neighbor what you think of when you think of Jesus.
  • Trusting Jesus
    • Personal:
      • Negative story - not letting go of that girl
      • Positive story - trusting God to go to Vancouver for a few months and help with the Discipleship Training School
    • Bible:
      • Moses striking rock (Num. 20)
      • Israel's idolatry (Judges-Malachi)
  • Why we don't trust Jesus
    • Disciples in the storm (Mk 4) - Because we don't know him well
    • Wrong picture of him
      • Dan 7
      • Rev 1
  • Application
    • Get to know him better! Spend more time with Jesus.
    • Trust Jesus with everything!
    • What are you trying to hear now? Future plans? Wait on him (Ps. 27), take courage and wait for him to answer.
    • Even if bad, bad things happen, always trust in him.
