Moving From The Baggage To The Blessing

On a basic level, baggage is a suitcase, container or a trunk used for storage when traveling.  On another level however, baggage is the beliefs, perspectives and experiences that make us who we are.  The Bible reminds us that there is a relationship between expelling unhealthy, unneeded and unspiritual baggage and experiencing blessing.  This sermon leverages a short, succinct yet powerful passage in 2 Chronicles, Chapter 4, verses 9 – 10, where the profile and the prayer of a man named Jabez reveals the truth about moving from the baggage to the blessing.
