"Goodbye Limitations"
In today’s sermon, Pastor Pencil emphasized the theme of "Goodbye limitations, launching into purpose," as he concluded the series "Goodbye Yesterday." He opened with a reflection on the continuous struggle many people experience with self-imposed limitations, likening these to invisible ceilings that restrict personal growth and divine potential. With a focus on Psalm 118, Pastor Pencil illustrated how the resurrection power from Easter is not merely a historical event but an ongoing source of God’s unlimited power in our lives. He reminded the congregation that God's love transcends time and that deliverance can come from calling out to God in times of distress, leading to expansion beyond our perceived boundaries. Pastor Pencil then explored how painful experiences such as rejection can transform into powerful testimonies of faith. He noted that even our most significant challenges can become opportunities for witnessing God’s strength and purpose. He highlighted the importance of gratitude as a catalyst for activating God’s empowerment, encouraging attendees to identify their limitations and cultivate thanksgiving. The sermon concluded with a powerful call to action, urging the congregation to recognize their new identity in Christ, foster a spirit of thankfulness, and embrace God’s limitless possibilities in their lives, ultimately empowering them to live out their divine purpose and impact the world positively.
