The Courage to Become

May 4, 2025    Pastor Duane Butler

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace 'The Courage to Become' - a transformative journey of faith. The story of Mary, mother of Jesus, takes center stage, illustrating how God interrupts our momentum with divine purpose. Just as Mary faced the daunting task of becoming the mother of the Messiah, we too are called to step into the purposes God has for us. The message emphasizes that it takes courage not only to be who we are but to become who God intends us to be. We're reminded that with God, nothing is impossible, even when we face situations that seem insurmountable. This teaching encourages us to say 'Let it be' to God's will in our lives, just as Mary did, and to trust in His plan even when it doesn't make sense to us. It's a call to move beyond our comfort zones and into the 'open spaces' God is creating for us, where we can fully realize our potential in Him.
