Before The After

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the transformational power of God in our lives. The central theme revolves around the idea that while God's saving power is instant, His transforming power is a process that requires our patience and submission. We're reminded of David's story in 1 Samuel 16, where he was overlooked by his family but chosen by God. This narrative teaches us that God sees beyond our outward appearance and looks at our hearts. The message encourages us to give God everything, including the parts of ourselves we'd rather leave 'in the field.' It's a call to authenticity in our faith journey, reminding us that God can use our past struggles and mistakes for His glory. The concept of 'the pasture' is introduced as a place of preparation, where God corrects our posture and deepens our relationship with Him. This speaks to the importance of embracing difficult seasons in our lives, understanding that they're shaping us for our future purpose.
