Sunday thoughts

Sunday was awesome. Jim Peters did a fantastic job in our interview. Jim’s story was the perfect end to the sermon series on Forgiveness. His is an incredible account of the power of Jesus Christ to change lives. Even though I already knew Jim’s story, it still overwhelmed me once again to hear how loving our Lord really is.

Jim shared how God changed the life of a brutal, murderous terrorist named Josiah Makoni. Jim was number one on Josiah’s assassination list. After his salvation, God used Josiah to tell the Good News to other terrorist. THEN, God did another big thing. Josiah and his band of former murderous, hate-filled terrorists became Jesus loving, Holy Spirit-filled evangelists. God used them to bring the Good News to their country.

Don’t ever think that God can’t use someone like you!
