Making Waves

Watch the video version of this sermon here !             Hello and welcome (or welcome back) to Making Waves! Thank you so much for joining us this week as we continue to dive into the Word. We just wrapped up a series, and now we find ourselves in kind of a strange spot. For starters, it’s the end of the month, which is always a weird time to start a new series or to do anything new really. Not to mention that next Sunday is homecoming at the church which I am currently serving, so things are just kind of up in the air for the whole church family right now.

If you missed last week’s sermon, feel free to click back or scroll down in the blog to check it out first, as this is part 2 of a new sermon series we are taking under our wing. This new series is called, “You Matter!” I feel like now, more than ever, we are being beaten down in our lives. With the rise of technology and advance in communication, it can be hard to stay relevant. Especially in this political season, it’s hard to feel like our voice is being heard and that we matter. But, for whatever it’s worth, I’m telling you –right here, right now- YOU MATTER! Now, I’m no political analyst, so I can’t make any guarantees there… but I know that you matter in one of the most important ways imaginable: you matter to God and His purpose for ...
