Message: Why Wait Til Midnight?
Song: Midnight
By: Brent Jones
Don’t wait til midnight
When there is no sunshine
You are a stranger
Until there is danger
And that aint right
You say that
You love me
And cant live
Without me
Then why do
You call me
Only when you need me
[Luke 8:13 “Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away”]
Words that describe a fake person based off or from the song: 1) Stranger 2) Aint Right 3) No sunshine 4) Love [less]
-A stranger loves you during the day when they can get something from you, which aint right. They love you just as long as you can keep filling their hands every time they put it out. But the moment there is no sunshine, they can be your best friend. But Then the next day, they disappear until they need something. And that aint right.
-Your midnight is that time of night, after hours, that darkest hour, where you are alone and you wait to show God the praise that he deserves.
Question: 1) How many of you are what that describes a fake person or a stranger towards God?
[Luke 8:43-48~ Woman with the issue of blood][Ask People To Read Verses]
Definitions:
-Stranger: 1 a person with whom one has had no personal acquaintance. 2 a newcomer in a place or locality. 3 an outsider.
-Stranger to God: 1 a person with whom one has had no stable relationship with God. They don’t take the time to have that personal relationship [fellowship with God; we must try to build a strong relationship with God through fellowship with God] with God. 2 a person that has been in the presence of God, but decides to act as if they are a newcomer to the experience. 3 outside of one’s previous experience; unknown; unfamiliar. 4 an outsider.
