Under the Mighty Hand of God

Join Pastor Brent Foley for a special Father's Day message at Immanuel Baptist Church. Diving into 1 Peter 5:6-7, this sermon hits home on how the lessons we teach most passionately at the end of our lives are often the lessons that we learned most painfully in our youth. Through personal stories and powerful biblical history, Pastor Brent breaks down what it truly means to live under the hand of God.The message focuses on three distinct ways God uses His hand in the life of a believer: - His Mighty Hand: Recognizing God's sovereign power and shifting our perspective away from the myth of the "self-made man". We are reminded that every resource, breath, and success comes entirely from Him. - His Correcting Hand: Understanding that a loving Heavenly Father corrects His children for their own good. Looking at Moses smashing the stone tablets and David's heavy season of unconfessed sin, we see why we must refuse to be as stubborn as a mule. - His Exalting Hand: Seeing how God fundamentally restores and exalts the humble. Just as Peter went from a painful public denial to boldly preaching at Pentecost where 3,000 souls were saved, God can do immeasurably more through us when we stop serving a small God.Don't let pride keep you from surrendering to God's plan. Pull out the spiritual splinters before they get infected, trust His outstretched arm, and find courage for the unique assignment He has placed on your life today.
