S6:E5 The Power of the Gospel in a Weak and Wandering Heart
Manage episode 509278723 series 3441912
In this special episode, we dust off the archives to hear Jack Miller—pastor, missionary, and founder of Serge—speak honestly about his own weakness and desperate need for grace. Jack reminds us that awareness of our sin doesn’t drive us to despair but into deeper intimacy with Jesus, who meets us in our wandering hearts with mercy. His words invite us to stop striving, collapse on Christ, and discover that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness. This timeless message calls us back to the radical power of the gospel.
