CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW

CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW

In 2023, Pastor Jane Chun came from the greater Boston area to serve Michigan as our main speaker.

Her messages were filled with Scripture and wisdom, but we’ve compiled key takeaways from each of her sermons.

key takeaways

  • WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A SON - ROMANS 8:1-17, LUKE 15

    • Abba = Father. Do you feel like God is your Father?

    • Consider the Prodigal Son - the older son sounds transactional. Do you ever think God loves other people more than He loves you?

  • REMAIN IN HIS LOVE - 1 John 4:14-18, Romans 8:32-39

    • Abide means to stay.

    • The opposite of fear is courage. It takes courage and faith to believe in a love so big.

  • STRETCH OUT YOUR WITHERED HAND - Mark 3:1-6, John 20:19-29

    • There are two types of hearts: you either do not want to be wrong, or you are hardened by hopelessness.

    • Jesus asked someone paralyzed to stretch out their hand. It would otherwise be impossible, but it was done in faith.

  • where your treasure is/worry devastates discipleship - matthew 6:19-24, Luke 12-16

    • What do you value too much? What is your treasure?

    • What you look at is what you follow.

    • You might have both God and money, but you can only follow one.

  • DO NOT SUBMIT AGAIN TO A YOKE OF SLAVERY - GALATIANS 5:1-6, 13-14

    • What informs your values?

    • If we fall away from grace, it’s not about God anymore.

    • Submit to Christ, not to culture.
