Series wrap-up, featuring Pastors Tommy and Shanda Miller, co-founders of Legacy Church International, New Philadelphia, Ohio. Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025, sermon.

Responses to questions about Governing Contradiction form the crux of the message. We begin by summarizing the series then addressing a bank of questions: 
1. You talked about creation groaning and waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. I'll be honest, I never thought of myself as someone creation is waiting for. I feel more like I'm barely keeping my head above water most days. How do I make the mental shift from seeing myself as a victim of circumstances to seeing myself as someone creation is actually looking to for governance.

2. What do we do with Divine silence? When the heavens feel like brass and prayer feels like throwing words into the void? How do we govern the contradiction between God's promises and God's apparent absence? And what has “rest to rule” look like for you in your seasons like that?

3. You mentioned that repentance creates a rhythm of governance. What does ongoing repentance look like in this journey? And how do I maintain humility while growing in authority and confidence in governing contradictions? 

4. Take us to the graveside in the hospital room. How do you hold resurrection hope without denying the ache? What does a voice in the void sound like when you're standing with a family who just lost everything?

5. The concept of being the wind, not the wave, really hit me hard. But what does that actually look like on Tuesday morning when my teenager is rebelling, my marriage is strained, and my boss is impossible. How do I be the wind that moves circumstances instead of the wave that gets tossed around by them?
