A wonderful sermon Pastor Mike! I appreciated the reminder that faith is more than just “believing” in Christ– we truly need to let go and trust Him with all aspects of our life, no matter how challenging and scary that might be for us.

Thank you for another thought-provoking sermon today, and a great way to end this series. I chuckled about the idea of God as a “capitalist” (and “notice I didn’t say republican” thank goodness) instead of a “communist”. Another point to ponder was the idea of letting go of the material things of this world (and the worries they generate), because they don’t really matter in the long run. And, I love the analogy to start preparing now for a trip to heaven, by reading all about it, and by living with a purpose. (I’m ready for that trip to Bermuda too…:)

Pastor Mike:  This was the first time I had heard this sermon, as I have only been to your church a few times.  This is exactly the message that is missing from my church.  I always feel my day is going to be glorified, when I start it out, bowing down to the Lord and crying out for forgiveness asking for strength and wisdom with everything I think, say and do. Taking one day at a time but asking Him each and every day for forgiveness.  It humbles me and allows me to feel at peace trusting His perfect righteousness and holiness.  Knowing I belong to Him.
Whew!! Still hard to process that. So undeserving…
