In Over My Head (3 of 11)
The Best Is Yet To Come - Isaiah

Isaiah 43:1-2
OUTLINE
When you're in over your head...
1. GOD CARES FOR YOU
2. GOD IS WITH YOU
Several years ago, my wife, Gena, was at a pool party with some of her college girlfriends and their kids. Gena and her sister were given lifeguard duty. The kids' ages were around birth through ten years old. This was a huge responsibility because there were so many little kids. All of a sudden my preschool boy, Zayne, started bobbing down the steps into the shallow end.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, Gena saw my nephew-who was only a little bit bigger than Zayne-coming up for a breath, and then bouncing off the bottom of the pool, and then getting another breath, and then bouncing off the bottom of the pool, and then getting another breath as he descended further into the deep end.

This morning I want us to open to Isaiah 43. The Scripture talks about being in over our head. Today I want to preach to somebody who's struggling. I want to preach to the people who are hurting. I want to preach to the people who are having great adversity in their lives. Listen, I don't have to teach you how to celebrate when you've got the wife, you've got the car, you've got the money, an ...
