Overcoming Because of Jesus Pt. 1
In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider God's will for our lives and how we can live in alignment with it. The key scripture explored is Colossians 1:1-2, where Paul describes himself as an apostle 'by the will of God.' This prompts us to reflect on our own calling and purpose. We're reminded that God has a preferred will for each of us – a place where He wants us to be, doing what He wants us to do. When we're in that sweet spot, we can expect to see spiritual fruit in abundance, even in the face of adversity. The message draws interesting parallels between our spiritual productivity and the parable of the talents, encouraging us to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us. As we navigate our faith journey, we're urged to continually seek God's guidance, be open to His leading, and trust that He can use us mightily, regardless of our circumstances or perceived limitations. This message inspires us to step out in faith, embracing the adventures God has for us, and to live each day with intention, always looking for opportunities to be used by Him.
