Sermon recap: Finding Your Place in God's Plan for the Year
Tough times refine us to help us change and bring out impurities. During these times, Jesus prays for us. Don't waste your pain: strengthen others. Use what you learned and turn your misery into a ministry. Seek help when spiritually weak and get involved. There are blessings for obedience. If you missed the lesson, you can watch it on our YouTube channel (it starts at 37 mins).
Read Scripture through context, culture, and Christ. Its purpose is to shape us into Jesus’ likeness through love, obedience, and faithfulness.
Jesus built his life on Scripture through prayer, learning and obedience, showing us how to know God deeply and walk daily in his purpose by staying rooted daily.
Saying “no” to sin is saying “yes” to freedom. Through grace, discipline, and daily surrender, we follow Jesus—not perfectly, but faithfully.
