Search and Rescue
Marty Grubbs • 07-Feb-2021
Senior Pastor Marty Grubbs continued in our Breathing Underwater series, focusing on letting God search us and point out weak points that need attention. This means getting honest with God, and then sitting and listening while he gets honest with us. After getting honest with God, in order to keep us accountable, we need to get honest with another person. Find someone who is trustworthy, has your best interest at heart, and who is not a sympathizer who will let you continue in dangerous or destructive behaviors. Paul tells us in Romans 6 that Jesus broke the power sin has over our lives, and we have the power to determine what shapes our lives. This may mean eliminating places you can visit (including online), people you can associate with, or living the way our society deems normal or okay. As followers of Jesus, we are called to let him shape our lives and to use our lives as walking worship to bring him glory.
