Be Courageous

This sermon series has hit close to home.
My church's sermon series is based around the movie "Courageous" that is out in theatres right now.
I saw the movie with one of my close friends, Sarah. I just love that girl.
We both saw it and it really was an incredible movie.
The message was strong, mostly to the men/dads/husbands type of crowd...
but it's that in order to truly experience obedience with God, it takes courage.
Not just the type of courage to "stand up to someone" but
to stand up for what God teaches us, what the Bible teaches us.
Whether that means, asking forgiveness from someone you need to or
finding it in your heart to forgive who you think is unforgivable.
The type of courage that pushes you to accept what God provides and that
He will never give you too much that you can't handle. And that "you won't stay in this same place forever" (Pastor Chris Hoyt).

Be courageous.
That's something I've been challenged to do and I'm beginning to open up about.
There are quite a few situations that have been brought to my attention, good and bad,
that I need to take courage when dealing with it.
But, I know that God gives me courage daily by encouraging me.


Just some thoughts,
J. King
