Be The One [Week III]

Pastor Chris Gastardi - Dec. 3, 2023

Pastor Chris shares a message encouraging people that God has called them to "be the one" - to recognize their value and significance in God's plan. He uses the biblical story of Azariah, a 16-year-old made king, who rebuilt the port city of Elath, to illustrate that God can use anyone powerfully regardless of age or seeming limitations. Chris challenges people not to focus on disappointments or the opinions of others, but to remember that God is preparing them for great purposes, just as various experiences prepared Chris for delivering this message. He closes by urging people not to let "leprosy" - shame, addictions, past failures - define their legacies, but to run to God and reclaim their identities as "the one" God has called them to be.
