In this week’s message, Pastor John steps out of his comfort zone, moving aside the pulpit and being honest about what God is doing in his life. By learning about his experiences and focusing on the words of Christ in Matthew 18, we will explore the idea together that everyone has their own way of doing things, and we often put limits on God because of pride. We want to follow Him — but only if we can be successful while doing it. We want to serve others — but only in the areas where we feel well-equipped.
We worry about what other people will think if we do things differently, but God wants to use the messy, uncomfortable parts of our lives, too. To truly serve Him with humility, we must get rid of anything that holds us back and destroy (not just think outside of) the box that serves as our comfort zone.
