FaceTime with Others

This message invites us into a profound reflection on divine intimacy and human purpose. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, we explore the stunning paradox that the God who placed every star in the sky cares deeply about our stubbed toes and daily struggles. The central theme challenges our worldly understanding of strength and wisdom, revealing that God intentionally chooses the weak, the foolish, and the lowly to accomplish His greatest work. This isn't about celebrating inadequacy, but about recognizing that our weaknesses create the perfect space for God's power to shine through. The Great Commission takes on new meaning when we understand that pointing others to Jesus doesn't require us to have all the answers or perfect wisdom. Instead, our calling is to stand alongside others in our shared weakness and together turn toward Christ. The sermon beautifully illustrates how everyday interactions, from conversations with coworkers to exchanges with grocery store clerks, become opportunities to recognize hidden needs and offer the presence of Christ. We're reminded that we don't need noble birth, worldly power, or impressive credentials to fulfill God's purpose. We simply need to get out of our own way and let God be God, boasting only in the Lord rather than our own abilities.
