Description 

Main Point: As we walk through life—we have many trials and distractions but the by the grace of God, we walk on.

Synopsis:

• Three people walking in different places in the city stumble and fall –but get back up again and continue on their journeys.
• Stylish woman carrying shopping bags takes an unexpected fall as does a young businessman talking on his cell phone and another guy seemingly walking without any distractions.
• Even though people look on in two of the scenarios, no one bothers to help –but the Lord is the very present help in times of trouble.
• Simple but profound lyrics – that God’s grace gets us through our trials, our failures, our unexpected calamities and it’s by that grace that we can brush ourselves off and continue on.
• Excellent film work—masterfully crafted—opens with bird’s eye view over skyscrapers where we see the woman walking—as she lies on the sidewalk, we see the same buildings from her angle—yet God is in both perspectives.

Application:

• God doesn’t want us to walk through life shamed by our failures—His mercies are new every morning.
• Just as the people presented in the video walk on—He wants us to receive His forgiveness and grace and not look back.
• Failure, heartache, and disappointment come to all people – it’s part of the human condition and Jesus is the antidote to every problem.

Suggested Uses:

• Worship
• Sermon starter on Going Forward

Biblical Reference:

• Psalm 34: 19 “Many are the trials of the righteous but the Lord God delivers them out of all of them.”

• Phil 3:13 “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead…”

Lyrics

Here I bring my stains and crowns, gentle river wash me now.

Your love is deeper than I know. Your ways are higher than I know.

Lead me in your Holiness. I will follow I confess

Glory is a song I sing--your life is living in me.

Where would I be without you? Without you?

Where would I be without you?

I will bow before the cross

Cherish my redeemer’s cost

There is nothing I can do

But only stand amazed by you

Mercy new everyday, wrapped up in your arms of grace

Nothing more—you’re all I need

Your life is living in me.

Like a water fall within my heart overflows

Like a candle lame you light my way and lead me as I go

Spirit overflow, let me overflow
