Day 4 - Sunday Sermon Recap

Welcome to day 4 of our devotional based on last Sunday’s testimony: 

(1 Timothy 1:12-17) I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Moses doubted his ability to lead due to his speech impediment, Paul persecuted the church of Christ and yet God still used them mightily. Last Sunday Haley emphasized that God can use us even when we doubt, sin, or question Him. The Scriptures are full of stories of imperfect, broken and repentant people who by God’s grace were used to fulfill God’s purpose. 

What insecurities or past mistakes make you feel unqualified for God's service? Remember, God's power is made perfect in our weakness. Surrender your doubts to God today, and ask Him to use you despite your flaws.
