    My Message Is All About God Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022
     | 4,332 views

    If we are not careful, we can get in the way of sharing the good news about Jesus and begin to make the message about us. But our message and our ministry must be all about Him and not about us. We must lift Him up, and He will draw people to Himself.

    A. I read about a minister who gave an unusual sermon one Sunday. 1. He used a peanut to make several important points about the wisdom of God in nature. 2.

    My Struggles Are All About God Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 31, 2022
     | 3,409 views

    Do our struggles and suffering have a reason or a purpose? God can use our struggles and suffering to bring Him glory. But we must make our struggles all about God, and not about us.

    A. As I meditated on suffering and struggles this week, these ideas came forth in my mind: Suffering is paradoxical. Suffering is bad and good. Suffering is painful and helpful. Suffering is confusing and enlightening. Suffering isolates and builds community. Suffering may lead to death or ...read more
