Watch the full service
here (the sermon starts at 35mins)
To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did.
God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.
My Story, His Glory. God wants to glorify himself through our lives and always shows up when least expected. As his followers, he entrusts his flock to us. He expects us to care for one another, build one another up, eradicate gossip and slander from our lives and forgive one another.
The world longs to see our Father, and he wants to use us to show what goodness looks like. Our role is to become more like Jesus and to love him, become more like him, and intercede for people.
