Will you believe that He uses these circumstances to DRIVE us toward Him, AND toward caring about and for each other. Relationship is what it’s all about. He learned mercy toward Humans, by experiencing great heartaches and temptations of the human life, SO THAT He would become our merciful High Priest, (who is BTW continually praying and advocating for those He came to save)and to BE AN EXAMPLE to His Children of forgiveness and mercy toward others, all of who, experience the life portrayed in Ecclesiastes by Solomon. We who have received His grace and mercy know what it cost Him, and are, through our temptations and heartaches, given the honor of following His example, for the Glory of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Jonathan, your sermons are good & your sincere walk with the Lord blesses others. However, sometimes you lower your voice so much that it's difficult to hear. Remember many people listen to these sermons in their cell phones & some are hard of hearing. Other pastors scream their sermons - another extreme that I soon turn off. You're Ok, but don't lower your voice too much. Bless you.
