Title: God Will

Date: 8/4/24, 10am, Sunday Sermon

Speaker: Pastor Derrel Strickland

Pastor Derrel Strickland draws inspiration from a familiar passage in Acts 2:41 where Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, sees 3,000 people saved in one day. Pastor Strickland acknowledges feelings of inadequacy but emphasizes that it is God who adds to the church, not human efforts. He reminds us that God has a plan for each of us and equips us to fulfill His purpose. The key takeaway? God is the one who builds the church and leads us to rest, peace, and transformation through His promises and the Holy Spirit. Let's trust in God's promises and follow His lead. The core message: God is the builder and provider; our role is to follow Him faithfully.
