Preached a message last Sunday on ‘How to be strong’. You can get it from our download browser if you want to listen. Main theme was looking at how God works differently from the world. We looked at Gideon – you can read the story in Judges 6 and 7.
Funny thing is how God seems to be so deliberate about working every message I preach through me before I deliver it. So I started last week feeling weaker and more unqualified then I’ve ever felt in my life, and ended up feeling stronger than I’ve ever felt.
How can you be strong? I don’t really have 5 keys to how you can experience God’s strength. I tend to try to make the world simpler that that. The central thought for me was simply this:
Contrary to what the world may suggest, “coming to the end of myself” isn’t a bad thing. In fact – in God – at the end of myself is exactly the right place to be, because at the end of myself is where God begins.
