In his sermon, Pastor James emphasizes that growth is a clear indication of God's ongoing work in our lives, as highlighted in Ephesians. He uses the metaphor of making a pie to illustrate how we often seek signs of God's action, similar to identifying a pie's presence by its ingredients or smell. Pastor James explains that the Holy Spirit acts as a seal in our lives, reassuring us of God's promises and helping us grow, understand scripture, and cultivate compassion. Ultimately, he assures us that God's projects in our lives won't be left unfinished, as the Holy Spirit guarantees our redemption and inheritance, inviting everyone to experience this transformative journey.
