Sunday Morning | November 19, 2023 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In this sermon based on John 16:16-33, Pastor John emphasizes the importance of finding peace and joy in the midst of life's chaos. Drawing inspiration from an interview with a bull rider,  his sermon highlights the bull rider's ability to stay calm and focused in the dangerous activity, drawing parallels to the disciples facing the impending chaos Jesus warned them about. John identifies four ways to find peace and joy: BATL, which stands for Believe, Ask by faith, Trust His timing, and Look for Him to overcome the world. The narrative underscores the disciples' initial lack of understanding and Jesus' patient initiation, emphasizing the inevitability of sorrow turning into joy, akin to the pain of childbirth leading to unparalleled joy. The congregation is encouraged to believe that sorrow can produce joy, ask in faith, trust God's timing, and look to Him to overcome the challenges of the world, finding ultimate peace in Christ. The sermon concludes by reassuring the audience that God doesn't require perfect individuals to build and sustain the church, providing encouragement and a call to find courage in the fact that Christ has overcome the world.
