Semicolon Series - Week #1

Semicolon Series - Week #1 By Timothy Moore Lamentations 3:7-12 Lamentations 3:20-24 Psalms 103

A semicolon always means… there's more to come!

A semicolon brings three things… hope, clarity, or solution.

A semicolon can be translated into the words… yet, but, or and.

"I haven't eaten in four days.”

"I haven't eaten in four days; there's a home cooked meal sitting in front of me."

"I have battled addiction for fifteen years.”

"I have battled addiction for fifteen years; Christ has delivered me and I've been clean for three years."

"My life has been so broken and dark.”

"My life has been so broken and dark; I am getting healing and peace as I draw near to God."

"I lost all faith in humanity.”

"I lost all faith in humanity; I saw people from CTK being living proof, of a loving God, to a watching world, and it changed my perspective."

"I believed in Jesus but never grew strong in my faith.”

"I believed in Jesus but never grew strong in my faith; I became a part of CTK, started having daily devotions, sharing life with spiritual friends in an Impact Group, and now I feel the presence of God in my life."

Project Semicolon "A semicolon represents a sentence the author could have ended, but chose not to. That author is you, and that sentence is your life."

Lament:

1. Unfiltered expressions of what you are feeling about circumstances and about God.
2. Encounter (;)
3. Spirit-led reminder of who God really is, and your benefits as His child.
