Breakthrough Despair

May 2, 2021 by Laura Shaffer

This sermon is part 5 of 8 in the Breakthrough 2021

DIGITAL PROGRAM & BULLETIN 02 May 2021

Week 5 Breakthrough

Today is your day for breakthrough.

“Breakthrough” is one of the most powerful words; whatever was strong enough to stop you initially, has been defeated!

Hopelessness, abuse, fear, anxiety, grief, pain… you name it, God offers HIS power to help us breakthrough.

In this message, you will learn how the resurrection of Jesus overcomes hopelessness and despair. When all seems lost, God finds us and gives us the courage to pursue our purpose.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26 (ESV)

Breakthrough Despair

Luke 24:13-35

That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

Luke 24:13-18 (emphasis added, ESV)

The Road to Courage

  1. The Valley of Despair (Luke 24:13-24)
  2. The Mountain of Truth (Luke 24:25-27)
  3. The Crossroad of Decision (Luke 24:28-29)
  4. The Inn of Remembering (Luke 24:30-32)
  5. Returning Home (Luke 24:33-35)

When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

Luke 24:30-35 (ESV)

to proclaim liberty to the captives,
    and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
    and the day of vengeance of our God;
    to comfort all who mourn;

God’s Call to Give

Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing for such teachers in a manner that pleases God. 7 For they are traveling for the Lord, and they accept nothing from people who are not believers. 8 So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.

3 John 1:5-8 (NLT)

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.

Philippians 4:17 (ESV)
