Since we’re on the subject of goal-setting and New Year’s resolutions, this sermon on 2 Samuel 6-25 made consider success and failure in a whole new light.
“Failure is exposure, and exposure can lead to repentance and repentance can lead to Jesus, the ultimate arrival…
“Our success and our sinfulness may lead us to think somehow we don’t need Him. When, in fact, there is no hope, there is no life outside the shadow of the cross of Jesus Christ.”
Even more from this service, and the “Life of David” series here.
one of my favorite scriptures says "I give unto men weakness that they may be humble, and my grace is sufficient for all men who humble themselves before me." i think sometimes it is our weaknesses and imperfections that help draw us closer to Christ.
