Sunday's Sermon
This is from Randy's message on Sunday. Goes along with what God has been teaching me in my personal time with him, in the Word, and through reading Ruthless Trust.

THE WAY OF TRUST
When you trust Jesus…
•wonder replaces worry
•gratitude replaces grumbling
•awe replaces anxiety
•surrender replaces self-pity
•compassion replaces criticalness
•motivation replaces misery
•action replaces apathy
•confidence replaces condemnation
•joy replaces judgment
•desire replaces driveness
•commitment replaces complacency
•confidence replaces control
•venerability replaces victimization
•security replaces stress
•gratefulness replaces getting ahead
•directed life replaces a divided life
•casting your cares replaces caving in to your cares
•embracing replaces escaping
•meaning replaces the mundane
•practice replaces procrastination
•peace replaces panic
•rest replaces restlessness
•potential replaces problem
•faith replaces fatalism
•fierceness replaces fear of failure

The following is a hymn that Randy mentioned. He repeatedly stated one line from that hymn... Oh for grace, to trust him more!

'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Louisa M.R. Stead, c. 1850-1917, William J. Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921
Jesus, Jesus,
how I trust Him,
How I’ve proven Him over and over,
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus,
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
