On March 1, 2020 our morning message was brought by Rev. Marcus McDougle. Scripture reference 2 Peter 3:8-9 Galatian 4: 4; with the subject He is an on-time God.
Food For Thought: Sin causes us to be self-centered, shifting our hearts from God to self. Our great temptation will be to affirm ourselves while we follow Jesus. Self-centered people try to keep their lives unruffled and undisturbed, safe and secure. Our temptation is to give our time and effort to the goals of this world. Then when we are successful in the world’s eyes, we seek to bring God into our world by honoring Him with our success.
God is not interested in receiving secondhand glory from our activity. God receives glory from His activity through our lives.
