John: God’s Leader in Training
We should recognize and celebrate God’s sovereign plans and the strategic preparation of his enlisted servants from their conception onward.

While unfair attacks and injustice may temporarily assail us, we must reaffirm that God is neither unaware, unconcerned, nor uninvolved in every detail of our lives.
God’s sovereignty over salvation does not in any way mitigate our responsibility to passionately & persuasively present the gospel message to all types of people.
It is critically important to always keep God’s amazingly gracious character in view when we consider the nature of his decision to save undeserving sinners like us.
We should humbly affirm God’s right to do as he chooses regarding the dispensing of his justice toward some sinners and the demonstration of his mercy toward others.
Because God is working to collect his chosen people we can be expectant & confident in our evangelism knowing that those he’s appointed to eternal life will be saved.
Life can be tough sometimes, but we trust in a God who is not ignorant of our suffering. Pastor Mike explores one response when life gets tough.
Though our prayers are imperfect & limited, we are greatly helped by prayer amid trials & prolonged difficulties because the Holy Spirit actively intercedes for our good.
Sin is a terribly bad even though God uses it for good – that’s why we should work to run from temptation without any rationalization or excuses.
We must humbly accept and gladly affirm that God is perfectly and ultimately sovereign over all people and all things for all time.
Even when we think our plans have been disrupted, it is God’s timing that we need to keep in mind as the most important schedule.
Work at pleasing God where you’re at, knowing that God has you where he has you for a reason.
Evangelism is impossible without God; so pray about every aspect of sharing your faith with others.
