Sermon Updates
“Wherever our hearts are at, we can give ourselves to God. Maybe that means we need to stop ourselves at some point in the day and ask ‘Jesus, what do you want me to do today?’ Maybe we listen to His still small voice when we are interacting with people, even difficult people, throughout the day, of how to love them better…We trust Jesus and keep putting ourselves out there to love others. We don’t wait for the feelings. We take the actions of love and THEN the feelings will come.” – David Kitani
