Savage Jesus with Cece

Description:We are starting a Bible-based relationship goals playlist built on the twogreatest commandments: love God, and love your neighbour as yourself. This isthe heart behind Not My Way, But YHWH too. Not culture’s way. Nottrauma’s way. God’s way.Caption:Love God. Love you. Then love people.

Don't label someone by one moment in their story.

They looked at the healed man.They looked at the dead pigs.And they asked Jesus to leave.That part is brutal.Because it reveals something ugly.They were more disturbed by the loss of their livestock thanthe restoration of a human life.Their economy mattered more than his freedom.Their business mattered more than his healing.Their comfort mattered more than his deliverance.They had made peace with a tormented man living in thetombs, but they could not make peace with the cost of Jesus setting him free.

According to the rules of the room, her uncleanness shouldhave transferred to Him.But that is not what happened.Her shame did not spread.His holiness did.

He is willing to be corrected, rejected, and misunderstood because remaining silent would mean missing the moment.The crowd tried to manage access to Jesus, but Jesus does not follow their expectations.

Damage is real. Trauma is real. Wounds are real. But whathappened to you does not get to have the final word over what God placed inside you.In this message, Cheryl Christopher-Roulston (Cece) opens up thestory of Mephibosheth, the man who was dropped as a child but later seated at the king’s table. This sermon is for anyone who has ever felt marked by abuse, shame, rejection, addiction, failure, grief, or trauma and wondered if Godcould still use them.God does not throw away damaged people.He calls them.He carries them.He covers them.And He commissions them with purpose.You may be damaged, but you are not destroyed. The value isstill in you.Main Scriptures:Ephesians 2:102 Samuel 4:42 Samuel 9Zechariah 4:6John 5:1–9#Bibleteaching #Biblepodcasts #JRCece #SavageJesus#FlippinTables #DamagedButNotDestroyed #ChristianSermon #FaithAndHealing#TraumaHealing #GodRestores #ChristianEncouragement #JesusHeals #Grace#Mephibosheth #BibleTeaching #FaithAfterTrauma #HealingFromAbuse #Shame#Purpose #ChristianMessage #SavageJesus #CherylChristopherRoulston#SavageJesus #JRCece #Trauma #Healing #MentalHealth #healing#abuse #RealBibleteaching #SavedandBesieged #MessyFaith #Realfaith #Viral#DomesticViolenceAwareness #FaithAndMentalHealth

Description:In this 5-minute Bible Study Podcast episode, we look atMoses and the journey from damage to destiny.Moses’ story did not begin with confidence, power, or aperfect calling. It began with danger, displacement, fear, identity tension, failure, and wilderness. But God did not waste any of it.This teaching is for anyone who has ever wondered whethertheir past, trauma, mistakes, anxiety, or wounds have disqualified them from being used by God.Your pain is not good. Your trauma is not good. But God isgood, and He knows how to redeem what tried to destroy you.Savage Jesus: for the wrecked, the raw, and the rising.Your wound is not Lord.God is.And He does not waste what you survived.Your damage does not disqualify you.Moses’ story began with danger.God was forming the person who could carry the purpose.Unhealed pain can hurt people. Surrendered pain can servepeople.The wilderness was not wasted.Your wound is not Lord. God is.

You can't hold God's truth and trash at the same time

We can be saved and struggle at the same time

Learning from Moses

Jesus' obedience on the Cross

Why did Jacob limp?

John 8:31-3231 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

What is God's purpose in our struggles?

Your labels don't define you- God does

Navigating Faith & Struggles

God's promises vs reality

You go through transformation

Who holds your mirror?
