| What do you do when you can't DO anything? |
We heard great testimonies of God's hand at work. I was struck by the authentic boldness of Joey to share his story of redemption through Christ from his past hurts and hangups. (Thanks for sharing, man.) Kyle talked about an amazing story of God providing $600 for a dental crown given directly to the dentist by an unknown donor, even when they did not make their need known. (Brush your teeth lately?) I was also moved by Daryl's story of getting into a fender bender this week. The person she "fender bendered" found out her situation, her ministry at Save The Storks and not only decided to relinquish her from payment, but also told her that he was going to get his Church involved in supporting her ministry financially!
God IS on the move and at work in powerful ways around us. But, to answer the question we began with, the conclusion we arrived at was, "We must recognize our powerlessness to experience the powerful grace of God."
The question I left you with as you walked into the worship service was: What powerlessness do you need to own, so that God’s power can be displayed in your life? Any answers? What did the sermon reveal from our discussion? How did our discussion prepare you for the sermon?
On Mission,

Good Food for thought! I'm pretty complacent by nature, and don't have a very controlling personality; nothing wrong with those characteristics, but it translates to a lack of boldness and not speaking my mind very often. I've had to recognize that a lot this past year, and learn to do it by His strength, because I don't have it of my own.
