Christian Mental Health: Hope for a Troubled Heart

Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, Go, therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Welcome to Go Teach all nations, bringing you Christ's teachings through Australian and international speakers. And here is today's presenter, Pastor Jacob Boehm. SPEAKER B 00:00:37 - 00:01:50 Let's just say a quick prayer and then we'll jump into this together. Heavenly Father, I just want to thank you for the pleasure that we have that is the Sabbath and to spend some time with you, worshiping you, learning more about you, reflecting on you. We just want to thank you for desiring such an intimate relationship with us. So be present here and give me the words to say. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. How many of you like camping? Show of hands. Now, as a kid, I went on a little camping trip. My family bought a— I think it was about a 5-acre property in Tassie. And so it was only a short drive. They planned on setting up their home there. We were gonna build. We were just renting for the meantime. And it was a lovely little property, had a nice little lookout. We thought, hey, why don't we go camp on the block for a little while? And so, we chucked the tent into the car, we chucked the little camping mats and went in, we set it up, and it was the most simple, simple camping setup I think you could imagine. Your tent is basic, you sit on logs outside, and inside the tent is your mats and your sleeping bag, and that's about it. SPEAKER A 00:01:50 - 00:01:50 Yeah. SPEAKER B 00:01:51 - 00:03:10 Nay and I went to the 4WD Expo last week. Do you know how many things you can get to go camping these days? This doesn't feel like camping anymore. This is like luxury with a view for a couple bucks. That's what people get to go and do. I mean, some of the different things, I wrote down some of them. Like, you can take a camping pizza oven. That's not normal, is it? Well, if I missed out on something in the last couple years, To have a camping pizza oven, the size kitchen that you can take out camping, the tools that they give you are like 7 pieces in 1, and they work better than what the stuff in my kitchen does. You've got network, like the satellite setups that they give you to be able to have internet and TV, the TVs that are in the caravans, for crying out loud, they're huge. And then the fact that you're out in the middle of nowhere, but you've got great satellite internet, and you're able to have these beautiful TVs and these 3-berth caravans that They're set up with queen beds and lovely kitchens, and they still call that camping? It's ridiculous! The power plants that you guys can take now, that— I say you guys, I mean, I could do it as well, I just— this was not what camping was for me. I was used to the tent with the mat. Is that still considered normal camping? SPEAKER A 00:03:10 - 00:03:11 Yes. SPEAKER B 00:03:11 - 00:05:03 There's a lot of heads nodding, but I don't— I didn't pick that up looking at what I saw last week. And, um, as I reflected on this, how easy is it to make temporary accommodation set up as if that's your permanent accommodation, right? Like these, these camping setups now are luxurious lifestyles that they're temporary spots. They're supposed to be temporary spots. I mean, we've got Big Camp coming up and I've seen some of the Taj Mahals that people set up for Big Camp, right? This is what we get, and there's some people, I'm not going to point any fingers, that don't like big camp camping because we've got a house that we could go to, isn't that right? But these temporary styles of accommodation are set up in such a beautiful way that it doesn't really feel like a discomfort to go camping anymore. No one's roughing it. It is— you get to enjoy great food, you get to enjoy a comfy bed, you still get to watch your 7 News in the morning, you've got great internet. This is what camping is. has become. And quite frankly, I struggled to come from that, that camping on the block experience where, you know, it's, it's a 3-person tent has how many people in it? A full 3 people. And, and you're squished in and your camping mat is like, you're this big and the camping mat's about this big. And you roll that out, you blow it up, and, and, you know, you feel the rock that's right under your shoulder blade. for that night, that's where you get to sleep, and how you manage to put the tent in that location will always be a mystery. That's supposed to be camping. There's a little bit of a roughing it mentality. But we've become accustomed to, to this frame of mind where setting up this temporary activity has become such a luxury. Would you agree? SPEAKER A 00:05:03 - 00:05:03 Yes. SPEAKER B 00:05:03 - 00:06:52 And for many people, we We treat our home here on earth the same way. And as I've thought about this time and time again, John 14— if you've got your Bibles, John 14 is the, is the verse that I sort of start with because it's a beautiful, beautiful promise that we have of this future. And when we reflect on what's there in the future, we have such an intense navel-gazing perspective on the now. Like, we want to make sure that our, that our life that we set up now is, is comfortable, that we have what we need, that we— that everything's all good. And the, and the stress revolves around what's going on now, and, and we wrestle with this, this now time frame, setting ourselves up almost like we're camping. So John 14. Verse 1 to 3. Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. There are more than enough rooms in my Father's home, and if it were not so, would I have told you that I'm going there to prepare a place for you? And when everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way, the way to the way that I'm going. Now, beautiful promise, right? One that we can hold on to through the ups and the downs, but The thing that has stumped me is how we, we look to the fact that there is a heaven and there is a future that we have with Jesus in this beautiful place that he has prepared for us, right? We focus on that, but it is preceded by this instruction of don't let your hearts be troubled. And in, in this whole world, how many of you admit that we let our hearts get troubled? SPEAKER A 00:06:52 - 00:06:52 Yeah. SPEAKER B 00:06:55 - 00:09:59 Me, all the time. Because what's going on here is, is what we seem to have control over. And so we focus so intently on trying to make sure that each factor in our lives is, is the best that it possibly can be. And I looked at some statistics around this. 1 in 5 Australians, so just over 4 million people, have experienced a mental disorder in the last year, most commonly anxiety or depression. That's a huge number, isn't it? That is— that they might— we're talking millions of people. 1 in 5. I mean, our average attendance here at Glenvale is roughly— I think we're around the 200 mark is what we'll get on an average week. So there is quite a number. I can't math that quick enough to figure out. Was that 40 people? I think roughly that sit here on an average week that are really experiencing this either depression or anxiety. That's a huge number. Among young adults aged 24— 16 to 24, almost 40% are battling with mental health challenges. There's a lot of troubled hearts in that. 43% of Australians say they've experienced mental illness at some point in their lives. It's sobering. And yet, Jesus still says to us here, don't let your hearts be troubled. Now, as I sort of share my thoughts on sermons, my wife said to me, you've got a very distinct pattern that you seem to be justifying things. And I connect things like this, and it starts off with the recognition that this world is not what God had originally created. This is what it's become. What we experience is a result of the fact that sin has come into the world. And even the very good parts, they're not even comparable to the perfect world that was created in Eden. And so, when we look at the things that are plaguing us, troubling us, stressing us, that we are suffering with time and time again, they weren't actually initially supposed to be a part of that garden. And so, you know, it's— It's a sensitive topic when we talk around mental health and when we talk about the, the significance and the impacts that it has on individuals, but what we need to recognize is that this is a result of sin. It is not actually a part of God's original design, and so to look at this, it's not to say that, that these things are the devil's fault and, and you just need to toughen up and you need to get over it, and it's not to say that at all. But we need to recognize that the loving God that we serve created this perfection for us, and in that perfection, sin broke it. And then everything that has spiraled from there on is a result of that. And so we can attribute that moment to the devil. Does that make sense? And as things have unwound and come down here, we get reminders like John 14 where he's saying, hey, don't let your hearts be troubled. Here's some hope. SPEAKER A 00:10:00 - 00:10:00 for you. SPEAKER B 00:10:01 - 00:12:18 There is, there is a beautiful home that I have prepared for you, and that beautiful home is where I want us to be forever. And if we can hold on to that, we get given a different perspective whilst going through the challenges here on earth that people out there don't have the blessing of knowing. And that is sad, would you agree? Yes. This hope that exists is a hope for all. Jesus died for all. That's what Romans 5 talks about. And as we face these challenges, I can't help as well but to think of the people in the Bible that we look at. There are many heroes of faith, would you agree? And of those heroes of faith that exist, we can look at their lives and sometimes they're summarized by a chapter. And so you see all the highlights of what faith has done in someone's life in a chapter, and you think, oh wow, well, I'm nothing compared to that. Have you ever made that comparison before? Because I've made that many times and I think, oh wow, I gotta have the faith like Abraham. Whoo, I got some work to do. But you look at a whole life of all the good bits and then all the bad bits and you summarize it into a couple chapters and we're going to see the ebbs and flows even through our own lives as well. But when the moments strike you, are you able to actually sit back and have this consistent understanding of, hey, there is still a hope? This still exists. This this challenge to to step back from the things that are troubling my heart and remember the second part of that verse where God has prepared a place for us. There is a bright and beautiful future of complete restoration, not partial, not kind of a little bit, not a little better, complete restoration where we get this beautiful. I mean, we're trying to capture what heaven kind of looks like, and it's. And it's all well and good to put it up on the screen where it looks something like this, but we can't truly comprehend it, can we? And so, as we dream and dream and dream, as a kid, I used to have these conversations with my parents about what heaven is like. And much like Eli and Grandpa— thanks, Matt, for the story. As soon as I see his name pop up or he sends me a text message about what my sermon's on, I know I'm getting up to volunteer. It's a given. SPEAKER A 00:12:18 - 00:12:18 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:12:19 - 00:13:40 However, that conversation I've had many, many times. Mum, what's heaven going to be like? What are we going to get to do in heaven? Is it going to be water slides? That used to be a question we would ask. And Mum was like, imagine a water slide 100 times better than that. Like, so it's like, it like goes through the mountains and everything? And we just, we couldn't somehow go around a water slide? It was always a water slide. And it would get bigger, and it's huge, and then there's rapids, and then are we on something or are we not on something? And seemed to be how my child brain worked. But this is the reality of heaven. We can't truly comprehend it. And even the imagery that we get in the Bible, yes, it's divinely inspired, but it's still using our language, a language that we— that is limited in what it can comprehend, what it can explain. And so, when we get there, we're not going to get there and go, oh yeah, it said that in Revelation 21. We're going to get there and just be in awe, not just of what we're seeing, but of the presence of God that is radiating out of this, this place. And, and how do you, how do you communicate that now in a way that, that is still grasping hope? Jesus says, let not your heart be troubled. Then what is he going to say? Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. SPEAKER A 00:13:40 - 00:13:40 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:13:42 - 00:17:09 And off it goes. Hope is a staple point of the promise that we were given from Jesus. And in Hebrews 11, we see an example of— many people call it the Hall of Faith or the Hall of Fame for heroes of faith. And, um, I think what we have in there is some beautiful examples of a people who are always forward-looking. So if you've got your Bibles, jump into Hebrews 11. Verse 13 to 16. And these heroes of faith, I think going back in memory, it mentions Abel, it mentions Sarah, it mentions Enoch, and it mentions Abraham as the 4 characters in the, in the verses before. Verse 13 to 16, and it says, All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, But they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They believed that they were the foreigners and nomads here on earth. Obviously, people who say such things are looking forward to a country that they can call their own. If they had longed for a country that they had came from, they would have gone back. But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. And that is why God is not ashamed to be called their God. Amen. For he has prepared a city for them. Do you believe that he has prepared a city for you? Because we've got that promise, right? And through the, the, the challenges that we face here on earth, we get to, we get to make sure and check ourselves that we actually hold on to the perspective that exists with this promise in our mind. There is a place that God is preparing for us, and one day He said he's coming back to get us, and if he said that, what's he going to do? He's going to come back and get us. We have the words promised in red, and I love that every time you read it, they're written in red. But one thing catches my eye there in verse 16. That is why God is not ashamed of being called their God. What an interesting way to put it. Why would God ever be ashamed of being called their God. But then my mind jumps back to Matthew 10, verse 32 and 33. It says, everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. And so we've got this acknowledgment thing where, where Jesus is saying, hey, if you, if you are happy to proclaim me, then I am happy to defend you. But if you're not happy to, to proclaim me, Then hey, I'm gonna return that. Then I'm gonna— this is how it's gonna work. You know, you're either proud to be one of my children, or hey, I won't hold you to it, and I'm not going to set that up. And so I thought, here on earth we have this saying, right? Here on earth we have this saying: Actions speak louder than words. We all know it. So if actions speak louder than words, if we look within our hearts, do our actions communicate this relationship that we want to have with God? Because this, this is what we're facing time and time again. Because if, if we are consistent with our actions, then our belief in all things, private or public, will be the same. Would you agree? SPEAKER A 00:17:09 - 00:17:10 Yes. SPEAKER B 00:17:10 - 00:20:20 So if they will be the same, Then let me ask some of these circumstances. Does your camera roll, does your camera roll show that you are a child of God? Does your search history? Do your group chats? I know there's a lot of comments that go out there about group chats and the things that get shared in them. Maybe that's just for this corner over here, but youth, we have some, we call them funny We have some funny things that are shared, and hey, I've been in those group chats. Does your social media algorithms, do your conversations, do your thoughts, do your languages, the language that you use— do you curse? Do you lift others up? Do you hold grudges or resentment that Jesus wouldn't hold? Does your anger reflect that you're a child of God? What about your complacency, your comfort? Are you happy to just sort of sit back and, you know, yeah, I've got this hope, I believe it, this is a reality for me? Because this forward-thinking mindset that is demonstrated through the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 is one that is that is demonstrating a proudness, a faithfulness to a God that is then proud to be their God. That's the relationship that we have. And if we have that relationship, then all of our actions, be it public or private, need to align. And if they don't, then there's an inconsistency that forms. And that inconsistency becomes a struggle that we need to make sure that we look at Clearly. Now, I feel a little out of place wearing this shirt up here today. There's a purpose, I promise. I'm glad no one else wore one because if someone else wore one, I'd feel a little bad about this analogy. But this shirt doesn't quite match a preacher, does it? No. Some people are saying no. But this shirt, to me, it doesn't match what I'm wearing up here. I've got my normal Sabbath attire that I would wear on the bottom half, But I've got something that's not quite sitting right with the outfit. And I think this is just a visual example of an inconsistent relationship where your actions and your words, or your actions and your beliefs, don't actually align. I can stand up here all day long and I can share with you what I believe and why I believe it and where it's found in the Bible and everything's good, But if I go home at the end of the day and I have a nice beer or I start living a lifestyle outside of my church life that doesn't match with what I'm sharing, there's an inconsistency. My heart is always going to be troubled because I believe in this hope. I have this hope that's there in front of me and it's beautiful and God has a room for me in heaven and I look forward to that. But my life isn't living like I believe it. Does that make sense? SPEAKER A 00:20:20 - 00:20:20 Yes. SPEAKER B 00:20:20 - 00:21:06 And we wrestle with this time and time again because it can be subtle things. And a lot of the questions that we sometimes raise when we look at what heaven, you know, and how to get to heaven and, and think— we're looking at such detailed little rules and answers as if Jesus is trying to keep us out of heaven. And it's all about the little minorities. No, no, no. Okay, let me ask this question. It was put to me the other day. Do you guys remember Pastor— oh, not Pastor, Andy Colby? He's the head elder from Ipswich who preached up here the other day on, I think it was the armor of God he shared on. And he said— I caught up with him afterwards and he gave me this beautiful thing that asked the question, is God fair? What do we think? Hands up if you think God is fair. SPEAKER A 00:21:06 - 00:21:07 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:21:08 - 00:21:13 Okay, I want to challenge that because if God was fair, what do we deserve? SPEAKER A 00:21:13 - 00:21:15 Nothing. SPEAKER B 00:21:15 - 00:24:19 Right? We don't deserve the gift that he has. We don't— we don't deserve the rooms. We don't deserve the future. So if God was incredibly fair, then we owe him a debt, correct? Now that's a reality. But what did he do? He sent Jesus down to die for us. So God is not necessarily fair in that regard. He is actually incredibly biased towards you. And when Jesus was here, what did he do? He said, I'll leave you a helper. And so with Jesus coming down, he's like, hey, here's the Holy Spirit. And what's the Holy Spirit's role? The Holy Spirit is going to help you realize how much you need Jesus. And what's Jesus' role? Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life to the Father. And so this, this relationship that comes right down to us actually demonstrates this earnest desire that God has to get us to heaven. So, this future that exists for us is not one where it comes down to the minor details on, did you read your Bible 365 times per year or did you read it 364? Because 365 gets you to heaven. It's not like that. God has actually done every single thing To come right down to you and say, hey, if you recognize your need for Jesus and if you believe in him, guess what? Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms, and if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going back to prepare a place for you, and if I go in and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be where I am. That's the promise. And so this whole relationship that we have demonstrates the effort that God is willing to go to, to portray to us how much he loves. Can we return that though? Genuinely? Consistently? Hey, we're human, we're going to struggle, and he understands that. It's part of the Holy Spirit's role is to help us on that journey. It's not that we may do it alone. It's not that through the hard things that go on in the world around us that we, that we have to figure out by ourselves. No, no, no. He will walk every step of the way because He's already done every single thing. So, what more is it for Him to walk with you, to talk with you, to reveal through His Word the things that you need to understand, that He wants you to understand? You need to understand that He has saved you, and if you accept that gift, then He wants the relationship with you. That's Genesis 1 and 2. That's what the whole world was supposed to be about. A community with God. If you jump to Colossians, Colossians 3:1-4, it says, since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven where Christ sits on the— in the place of honor at God's right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not of the things of earth. SPEAKER A 00:24:19 - 00:24:19 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:24:21 - 00:25:35 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the world, you will share in all his glory. There's another promise for us. But since we've received this life, since we understand the gift that is there, hey, what next? Set your sights where? On heaven. Now, if we have our eyes set on heaven, what does that mean for the stresses that we face here on the earth? Well, hey, we can go back to John 14, don't let your hearts be troubled. And now, is that going to say that there is going to be no troubles that come up? No, there is always going to be troubles that come up. The devil is going to do anything in his power to try and murky the waters, and try and discourage you, and try and make it seem like there is something else that you haven't done, or that you can't be sure of your salvation, and that And this is just what he's going to keep throwing at you forever. Promise you that. Because the devil is happy with a 99% truth as long as there's a 1% lie. And another way that I heard that put, the devil is the master fisherman. That's why we were asked to become fishers of men. Because what's fishing? Is the bait fine? The fish would love the bait. They take mine all the time. SPEAKER A 00:25:35 - 00:25:35 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:25:37 - 00:26:04 But it's when you put a hook in it that it's not good for the fish, isn't it? That's what the devil's doing. He's happy to chuck that hook out there and try and get anyone. There's a little bit of truth to it. Hey, there's a little bit of pleasure. Hey, the world's got this, it's pretty cool. Hey, you might get to experience this. But he's got a hook in it that he can try and yank you out of God's pond, out of God's family, and try and take you away from what God is trying to do in your life. That's what the devil is trying to do. But what were we called to be? SPEAKER A 00:26:04 - 00:26:04 Fishers. SPEAKER B 00:26:05 - 00:26:58 Fishers of men. Fishers of men, which means, hey, here's the truth, come join God's pond. God has prepared a house, and guess what? Don't let your hearts be troubled. This is the relationship that is ongoing, and through Jesus, we get to have assurance of our salvation, which means there's nothing that we need to worry about in order to get to heaven, because God loves you, your family, your friends, your colleagues, Everyone so much that he sent Jesus, who came and paid all that was necessary, who then left us with the Holy Spirit to convict us of our need for Jesus and take us on this journey through Christ back to God. This is the restoration that is there to take place. This is the gift that we were given. And all of it is, is beautifully seen in these promises that we have in John 14 of, hey, there is a beautiful home for us. SPEAKER A 00:26:58 - 00:26:58 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:26:59 - 00:30:35 And that home lasts forever. And the stresses and the struggles that we face in this world around us, they're going to exist, but we have a hope that they are temporary. Amen. And I just want to finish by reading Revelation 21. So if you've got your Bibles, this just gives you the image of what heaven will be like. Revelation 21, starting from verse 10. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper clear as crystal. It had a great high wall with 12 gates and 12 angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. There were 3 gates on the east, 3 on the north, 3 on the south, and 3 on the west. The wall of the city had 12 foundations, and on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 sardischa in length, and as wide and high as it was long. Now, 12,000 sardischa, maybe in some of your translation, it equates to about 2,200 kilometers. Like, this is a big city that we're talking about, because there's a lot of people that God has made a home for. The angel measured the wall using human measurements, and it was 244 cubits thick, about 65 meters. The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure— was pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the, the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, The 5th onyx, the 6th ruby, the 7th chrysolite, the 8th beryl, the 9th topaz, the 10th turquoise, the 11th jacinth, and the 12th amethyst. The 12 gates were 12 pearls. Each gate was made of a single pearl. Can you imagine that? As every dad says, can you imagine the oyster? These are huge pearls. I'll put that one in my back pocket. The great street of the city was of gold and pure as transparent glass. I did not see a temple in the city because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nation will walk by its light, and the kings of earth will bring their splendor to it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought to it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Book of Life. Isn't that beautiful, folks? This is what God has prepared for us. This is something that we— SPEAKER A 00:30:35 - 00:30:37 that is true and factual. SPEAKER B 00:30:38 - 00:31:52 You can count on it, and it is there to give us hope. God actually took the time to inspire John to write this, to write what he saw. He showed— can you imagine being John and seeing this and then putting it in a language that we understand to today? Little old pastor in Toowoomba would be able to share what heaven's going to be like. Isn't that beautiful? This is what we get in the Bible. And if we want to spend that forever with God, it's reciprocated because he's given us the promises back at the beginning when he was walking here on earth and facing the same things that we were. He says, hey, don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. So if you've come to church and you've been feeling weighed down Stressed, exhausted, and struggling, this is a reminder for you. Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God that he has this plan. He has this reality for us that exists, and it's true. And the struggles that we're facing are not going to last forever. You can come to church. You can find hope in Jesus that this is the future that he has set aside for you. SPEAKER A 00:31:52 - 00:31:53 Amen. SPEAKER B 00:31:54 - 00:33:43 Where we get to have forever with him. And for all of us, I think it's important that we may take some time to reflect and go, hey, are my beliefs, what I believe, consistent with what I do? Am I going to walk with God because I believe it? Am I walking with God because I should do it? Am I, am I doing the right things? Am I saying the right things? Am I— Just have a moment of self-reflection and go, Do my actions, do they show that I believe and love Jesus? Because if they do, praise God. If they don't, Jesus loves you, and he still says, don't let your hearts be troubled, because he's dying to walk— he literally died, actually— he's died to walk this journey with you so that you may experience him. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for your promises in Amen. All throughout your word, really, the thousands that there are just demonstrate how much you love us. And we are so unworthy based on the sin that is in our lives, but through Jesus we are, we are saved. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and you have prepared for us a place that we may dwell forever with you. And Lord, we see your love through this, and we are so unworthy of it, but we are so grateful for it. And so, we just ask that You may forgive us for our sins. May You reveal in us the impurities that we need to work on. If there are any inconsistencies in our lives, may we be able to work on them with You, because through the power of the Holy Spirit, we may overcome our shortcomings, we may struggle with our temptations, we may struggle with the stresses of this world, but we know a God who has conquered all, and He has a place for us that is perfect, and we cannot wait to be there soon. We pray in Jesus' name. SPEAKER A 00:33:43 - 00:34:12 This message was made available by the Glenvale Seventh-day Adventist Church.
