Sermon Homework: Pastor Johnson assigned homework for us this week during his sermon. Read on below.
PRAISE PROJECT: Psalm 139:1-18. “I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (verse 14)
Make a list of everything that makes you different to:
- Your fellow believers
- Your family
- Your co-workers or classmates
Take the above list and thank God for your differences – the way you look, talk, walk; the way you look at life, etc. Celebrate your uniqueness.
Ask the Lord to search you. If there is anything that is not pleasing to him, to show you. And you, give him permission to remove, change you, until you look like Jesus.
Lastly, if you’re willing to take one more step, tell him you want to know him.
