I'm thinking, "What difference will this sermon make in their lives tomorrow? What am I trying to give them that will make a difference?" For example, had to do with the theme that Jesus will not let go of you. He's holding onto you. I talked to them about the disciples and Peter on the night before the crucifixion of Christ - how Jesus said that all of you are going to turn away, but He would be waiting for them in Galilee.

There's no person God cannot reach.

With God, every day matters, every person counts. And that includes you.

I would guess that about 75% of my stories are like that - personal experiences that I probably over-milk.

No person is too hardened.

When God is all you have, then all you have, is all you need.

God never promises to remove us from our struggles. He does promise, however, to change the way we look at them.
