What does
it mean when someone says, “I’m trying to ‘find myself’ “? Sometimes we treat the statement as a joke, a
clichéd cover for irresponsibility. But, “finding yourself” is a deep and
important task for every individual and every church. But still, what does it mean to find
yourself?
These were
the questions God placed on my heart on my first Sunday as pastor of Miles
Chapel CME Church in Fairfield, Alabama.
The answers are important for all of us, wherever we worship.
The message
is called: BIRTHRIGHTS, BLESSINGS,
& BURDENS.
Listen
well.
