Trusting God with the Outcome
This powerful message confronts us with a profound truth: we naturally gravitate toward comfort and familiarity, yet God calls us to embrace His uncomfortable, transformative work in our lives. Drawing from Jeremiah 51 and 1 Corinthians 3, we're reminded that 'all mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge'—a humbling reality that levels the playing field for everyone who comes to Christ. The sermon challenges our tendency to arrange our spiritual lives like we arrange our homes, wanting everything just the way we like it. But God has a different plan. He brings people into our lives who aren't like us, changes our church services in unexpected ways, and shakes the foundations of what we thought was stable—all to make us more like Jesus. The message uses vivid personal illustrations about marriage, children, and even an unwanted dog named Henry to show how God's plans exceed our limited vision. When we resist change or cling to our preferences, we miss the beautiful work God is doing to build His church. The central call is clear: stop building monuments to our preferences and start laying down our lives for others. In a world that's literally shaking—with wars, technological chaos, and moral confusion—we're reminded that our inheritance in Christ is the only thing that cannot be shaken. The wisdom of this world is foolishness before God, and our job isn't to create the perfect church environment but to offer people Christ, trusting Him with the impossible outcomes.
