Sermon Series: Control: Having It, Losing It, and Finding It Again
Has life felt a little out of control lately? You’re not alone.
This crazy year has revealed an important truth: The kind of control we thought we had was actually an illusion.
But God wants to teach us an even more important truth: We have more control than we could ever imagine. It just might look a bit different than we imagine…
Sermon Title: God Is In Control… Right?
God is in control… but we are also in the middle of a global pandemic wreaking pain, suffering, and death around the world.
God is in control… but bad people “win” and good people “lose” all the time.
God is in control… but sometimes I question how God is using that control.
God is in control… right?
Scripture:
Romans 8: 36-39

Our Homeless Neighbors Need Our Help
The Christian Sharing Center’s Oasis is the only resource drop-in facility for our homeless neighbors in Seminole County. They help provide warm showers, laundry service, and case management – and are seeing 40 – 50 individuals each day. They are running desperately low on razors, conditioner, men’s shoes and boxer briefs, as well as deodorant. If you have access to these items, please drop-off at their Pantry, Monday – Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. We are so grateful for your support to our homeless neighbors in need!
