Scientific and Personal: Entropy Scientific: Molecular Behavior Simplified: All things moves Towards Disorder in time… Personal Entropy: Chaos and Sin

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

What Things? Jesus is going to prepare a place for His disciples… God the Father is seen in Jesus… If you love Jesus you’ll obey His commands (LOVE) Promise of the Holy Spirit Abide IN JESUS (Remain “IN ME”)

Two Types of Trouble Bad Trouble Reasons for personal chaos (SODOM): –S in –O ut of place priorities –D istractions –O ther’s Sin –M yself

Good Trouble All trouble, sorrow, grief, persecution, hardships, and tribulations which result because; –You follow Jesus (The Christ) –You take a stand for God’s righteousness and justice… –Contrasting Example) Ezekiel 16:49, “ Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.”

The Conqueror You KNOW where peace is found! You KNOW who has Victory Over Death You KNOW who disarms the evil rulers and authorities of this world You KNOW who brings Order from Disorder
