Designer Differences - HANDCRAFTED, Part 3

August 27, 2018

OUR differences are for MY benefit.

That's the key thought for the final installment in our latest series, Handcrafted. Throughout the series, we've been looking at how God made us each uniquely - as a masterpiece created for a specific purpose.

But in this week's message, we flipped the script a bit and saw that not only are WE masterpieces, the people who are different than us are also masterpieces as well.

And why did God make us all so different? OUR differences are for MY benefit.

Finding Your Sweet Spot - HANDCRAFTED, Part 1

August 13, 2018

I'm baaa-aack! That's right! After a 4-week preaching hiatus, I'M BACK and, as you can see from this week's message, I am PUMPED UP about our newest series, HANDCRAFTED.

It's been said that in order to know God, you must first know yourself. Each of us is designed as a masterpiece by God - a unique creation designed to fulfill a unique purpose. In this series, we'll learn more about ourselves using the renowned Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and discover how we can use that knowledge to uncover our "sweet spot" in life.

Why? Because as St. Augustine said, "How can you draw close to God when you are far from your own self?”

Understanding the concept of "The Father" can be bewildering. The challenge is being able to separate YOUR father from OUR Father.

If you think of how you came to be, there's a good chance that within your parents’ grand design there was a child. But what they couldn't design was how you would turn out: the color of your hair, the width of your smile, the sound of your voice… these were all things that weren’t within their control.

But when God added you to His grand design, every inch of you was intentional: the color of your hair, the width of your smile, even the sound of your voice.

I am not an artist - at least not in the typical sense of the word. No one will ever confuse me with Michelangelo.

Does it count that I've always wanted to draw? I've wanted to grab a pencil, or some paint, and change a blank canvas into a masterpiece. Even with the help of those group painting sessions on Groupon, I'll likely never know the feeling.

But this makes me want to be an artist:
