How God Shapes Us for His Purposes

From Pastor Bo

I believe every person after coming to faith in Christ has to some degree thought something like this;"Now that I have God in my life -- things will go well for me."  And in many ways life does go well for us. Having peace with our Creator is an incredibly wonderful thing.  And yes, we see evidence of God's favor and blessing in our lives in a multitude of ways. But few, if any, follower of Christ enjoys nothing but unending favorable circumstances in life.

The fact is -- life, even for the believer, is filled with challenging, difficult and yes, even painful circumstances.

We may not like this -- but it is the reality.

This Sunday at The Bridge we are going to see how God worked in all of the circumstances of Jacob's life to fashion and form a vessel for His purposes -- while continuing to bless Jacob in the midst of some very challenging times.

Understanding that there is purpose in everything we experience serves to help us endure and even thrive during the difficult seasons of our life.

Join us Sunday as we see God working through the seemingly mundane events of Jacob's life to transform him into a vessel for His purposes.  And know this: God wants to do the same thing in your life and mine.

Blessings!
