We always seem to want what someone else has. It is hard not to, we are only human. However, God made us exactly how He needed us to be. He gave us exactly what we needed to serve His kingdom. So how do we serve God’s kingdom when we don’t feel “good enough” to be His child? God created you, God wants you, God gave up His life for you, we are good enough for Him. Join Pastor Ben as he explains these struggles deeper through 1 Samuel 17.Support the show

Would you rather be followed out of fear or out of love? Is this how you follow God or want to follow Him? To follow the Lord out of fear is drastically different from following Him because we love Him so deeply. In fear, we act safely to avoid repercussions. In love, we act willingly. We act as servants to the Lord because we know the sacrifices Jesus made on our behalf. To be so in love with God that we only live to serve Him. So, how do we move forward from where we are? We are all in different walks of life, and that is okay. But how do we learn to love Jesus? Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he reads through Ephesians 2:1-10 and analyzes what this passage means for us.Support the show
