How Can My Words Reflect God's Heart?
This week at Brookside, we explored the powerful story of Moses and how God used him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Pastor Eric Dubach shared insights on overcoming fear and finding the courage to speak up when God calls us.
Jesus often reminds us that our words matter. In Matthew 12:34, He says, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." At Brookside, we believe that building Jesus-centered homes starts with aligning our hearts and words with God's love.
Pastor Eric highlighted how fear can sometimes hold us back from fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. Just like Moses, we might feel inadequate or unprepared. But the beautiful truth is that Jesus doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.
The sermon emphasized that God values our character more than our confidence. When we allow Jesus to shape our hearts, He can use us in powerful ways, even when we feel unsure. This aligns perfectly with our mission at Brookside to build healthy relationships that reflect Jesus' love.
We were encouraged to trust in the Holy Spirit's guidance when we speak. As Jesus promised in Luke 12:12, "For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." This assurance can give us the courage to share God's love in our homes and communities.
Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, this message offers hope and encouragement. God can use each of us, regardless of our perceived limitations, to spread His love and build Gospel-saturated communities.
At Brookside, we're committed to growing together in faith and supporting one another as we learn to align our words and actions with Jesus' teachings. We invite you to join us on this journey of building Jesus-centered homes and relationships that reflect His love to our community.
