First Church Charlotte

December 30, 2020 | Pastor Nathan Elms People of faith strive to make a difference that goes beyond our own abilities and talents. Although we are sometimes defined by our own limitations, through faith, God uses our weaknesses for showing demonstrations of Divine strength. When we reach the end of our own abilities and become completely reliant upon on our heart for God, we then enter into the place where God can partner with us and our efforts. We then more fully understand and relate to the Apostle Paul, who taught the Colossians church to keep the focus on the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the power and love of God. What he basically taught was that even though we go through difficult times, keeping Jesus Christ as our focus gives us power over the storms of life and leads us and those around us into life in a more abundant way.
