I was blessed to hear Pastor David’s message yesterday, because it seemed to confirm for me that what I want to share with you this Sunday is exactly what God wanted.  It picks up on the idea of who we are as Christians in the world but not of it.  You’ve been told that God has a plan for Your life, but maybe you have some doubt about that.  I certainly have.  I have often thought that even if God did have a plan for my life, surely I had messed it up.  Now here is the revelation that I have had about God’s grace and sovereignty.  You can’t mess up His plan.  We’re going to look at all kinds of people in the Bible that we would probably think God would never use, yet they are key players in God’s master plan.  From Abraham to Paul, God chose messed up people just like you and me to do His work.  Who do we think we are that we could thwart Him even if we tried.  Not even a whole nation can do it.  Read what he says about Israel in Romans 11.  I hope you will join us this Sunday and be encouraged.
