What is the first thing that happens after Adam and Eve sin? They hide from God. They seem to have lost sight of His grace, His kindness, and goodness. —Sinclair Ferguson https://t.co/p50ZpfPntI
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” - C.S. Lewis
Some days I do not feel strong. I feel one hard moment away from unraveling.
But, she only had a hand and that hand reached for Christ.
“For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” - Mark 5:28

So if you are hanging on by a thread today, let it lead to Him.
Weak faith is still faith when it reaches for Jesus.
@TrevorSheatz That's why I smile when I hear some people say that they don't need the community of believers.

Is there a place in the church for sermons that don’t make Christ and his work the central message?
Yes. That place is the trash can.
Preach Christ and his work or sit down and shut up till you are ready to do so.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22

The God who holds galaxies together somehow makes you feel like the only person in the room when you come to Him. That's not theology — that's something you experience, and once you do, you never forget it. 🤍✨
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered." — Matthew 10:29-30
