Overcoming Because of Jesus Pt. 8

Jul 13, 2025    Pastor Jacob Gray

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the profound concept of sacrificial love within the body of Christ. Drawing from Colossians 1:24-28, we're reminded that as believers, we're called to 'rejoice in our sufferings' for the sake of others. This isn't about seeking pain, but recognizing that our struggles can serve a greater purpose in God's plan. Just as Christ suffered for us, we too may be called to shoulder burdens so that others might be spared. This sacrificial love mirrors the very heart of the Gospel and challenges us to view our trials through a lens of purpose and hope. As we grow spiritually, we're equipped to handle more, becoming pillars of strength for those who are weaker in faith. This message urges us to step out of our comfort zones, to be willing to serve in ways that may cost us, knowing that our actions can have a ripple effect in building up the body of Christ. It's a call to live not for ourselves, but for the greater good of all believers, trusting that God is working through our experiences to bring about His perfect plan.
