Excerpt from sermon on 02/08/2015:
"Yes, the scripture passages read today share good news with us. Yet, I want to draw your attention to a quote by John Henry Jowett, who lived from 1864-1923 and was a prominent preacher and pastor. Jowett said, “God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.” We could just as accurately say, “God does not restore us to make us restored, but to make us restorers.” You see, God has a two-pronged approach to his restoration project. He restores us for our sake, but he also restores us for his sake. God restores us so that we may serve him."
