Opportunity & Opposition - Week 2

The sermon explores how ordinary individuals can be used by God in extraordinary ways. It emphasizes the necessity of having a revelation of God, both in His established word and through personal unfolding. Confession is another key element, involving acknowledging who Jesus is, understanding one's own sinful nature, and recognizing one's identity in Christ. The speaker stresses the importance of conviction, urging listeners to stand firm in their faith and share the truth, even when unpopular. Finally, devotion is highlighted as essential, cultivated through spending time with Jesus and allowing the Holy Spirit to work. The speaker illustrates these points with biblical references, personal anecdotes, and a story about helping a stranger with a flat tire, underscoring that God's grace empowers believers to overcome feelings of inadequacy and live lives that reflect their relationship with Jesus.
