Descripción

Are you in a defining moment? In this powerful message from Genesis 32, Pastor Spencer Harmon reveals how God prepares his people through wonderful, excruciating, unforgettable moments—from Moses to David, Elijah to Paul. Discover four ways God prepares you to be used by him: he limits your options by trapping you against a corner to reveal that your usefulness depends on weakness, not strength; weakens your abilities by giving you a limp you'll feel with every step so you'll hope in God instead of yourself; redefines your blessings by transforming your desires until seeing God becomes the blessing itself; and gives you a story of painful grace you wouldn't trade for anything. From Jacob's all-night wrestling match to his dislocated hip and new name Israel, learn why every person used by God has a story of being broken. Don't miss this truth: before you soar in service, you must learn to walk with a limp.

The Day of Small Things

When life feels small and stuck, what do you do? In this message from Genesis 40, Pastor Spencer Harmon reveals three ways Joseph responds to 11 years of imprisonment: Don't be a victim, but be faithful—you're not responsible for uncontrollable situations, but you are accountable for your response; Don't be selfish, but serve—Joseph notices others' troubles, speaks faith publicly, and tells hard truths without manipulation; and Don't despair, but hope—even when the cup bearer forgets Joseph after his interpretation, Joseph waits two more years trusting God. Jesus pioneered this path through suffering, showing that these small, forgotten seasons aren't waiting for life to start—this is the path to glory. Whether in a dead-end job, chronic illness, or the obscure years of parenting, God is refining you and using you as a conduit of his grace.
