Embracing The Unwanted
In the sermon, "Embracing The Unwanted," Senior Pastor Sandra Howell delves into the life of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel, using the biblical narrative to highlight how God works through the unwanted and difficult situations in our lives.
Drawing from typology, she illustrates how Leah, the unloved wife, became a symbol of enduring faithfulness, producing blessings that shaped the tribes of Israel. Pastor Sandra reminds us that God often uses our most uncomfortable circumstances to grow and refine us, encouraging listeners to embrace challenges with faith, trust, and perseverance.
With stories of personal trials and triumphs, she emphasizes the importance of trusting God's timing, producing spiritual fruit like praise and joy, and holding steadfast to His promises even in adversity. Her message is a profound call to see God's hand at work, remain faithful, and find strength in His unfailing love.
