The Voices We Listen To and the Words We Speak | 30/11/25

In this powerful Foster Care Sunday message, Rex Rigby shares his remarkable journey from a struggling child who couldn't read or write to becoming the first Indigenous head of a denomination in Australia. Through raw honesty about growing up with malnutrition, dyslexia, and feelings of rejection, Rex reveals how God transformed hopelessness into purpose. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:22-29 and Jeremiah 29:11, this sermon challenges listeners to reject the negative voices that say "you'll never amount to anything" and instead embrace God's truth about their identity and calling. Rex's story demonstrates how God uses unlikely people—the foolish, the weak, the overlooked—to accomplish His purposes. Whether you're facing doubt, struggling with your past, or questioning your worth, this message offers hope that God has a plan for your life. Learn to stop listening to destructive voices, stop running yourself down, and become a life-giving voice for others. A must-listen for anyone needing encouragement about foster care, overcoming adversity, and discovering their God-given purpose. flbc.org.au
