Someone once said that "God will take you where you never intended to go in order to produce something in you that you could never produce on your own." When you received God's awesome gift of salvation, you then became a minister of the gospel. When Jesus called his disciples, He didn't call them to just come & be informed. He wanted them to come & be transformed. In order to do that, he took them out of their comfort zone. So if He did it to them, He's going to do it us. Getting out of your comfort zone will open opportunities for growth you would have never known about. This is all a part of God's plan & the use of uncomfortable grace. The storms of life we find ourselves in are often because God is taking us somewhere WE never intended to go so HE can do something in us that we would never get on our own. Take a listen to my message from Sunday morning to learn more.
