In this sermon, I emphasized the importance of having an active spiritual life, where we are in constant communication with God, responding to His guidance and movements in our lives. I stressed that while human energy alone cannot accomplish God's work, God also does not accomplish His purposes without our cooperation. This harmonious relationship between God's divine power and our human effort is both comforting and sobering. I also highlighted the importance of being open to change, as God often uses change to shape and form us into His image. I shared my personal testimony of how God led me to transition from my previous role as a pastor to my current ministry, emphasizing that this change was not easy or comfortable, but it was necessary for my spiritual growth and alignment with God's purpose for my life.
In the second part of the sermon, I discussed the concept of a disruptive gospel, which challenges us to move beyond our comfort zones and defaults. I explained that being a disruptive thinker means being open to God's movement in our lives, even when it's uncomfortable or goes against the status quo. I also emphasized that change is inevitable and necessary for our spiritual growth, and that we have a responsibility to participate in the change that God is initiating in our lives. I concluded the sermon by encouraging the congregation to embrace the change that God is working in their lives, trusting that God will not leave them hanging but will work in them to fulfill His good purposes.
