For His Glory and Our Greater Good

Last week's sermon was really a perfect reminder as I think about family and friends going through some painful circumstances in their life.

The sermon's theme was "God has the freedom to work in our life for His glory and our greater good."

There were two points in last week's sermon that stood out for me.

1. Trusting in circumstances only sets us up for disappointment. It's never about how much faith we can have but what is the object of our faith.
2. Faith by grace: Know that God will bestow faith on us without us ever earning it.

Brian always phrases it, God doesn't need our permission to work in our life.

We need to remember that these circumstances we find ourselves in are for our greater good. But, "our greater good" as defined by God.
