Pastor Tina tells us about how God keeps His promises and how we have to believe this. When we do, we are safe with Him! Our mental health effects our perception of who God is. The pain of unwanted experiences cause pain and make life difficult, which makes it hard to know God's character. As we avoid pain, we avoid God. It's through our pain that God brings healing and teaches us who He is and who we are! We cannot limit God with our own beliefs. We have to read scripture knowing God loves us and is teaching us in his Word. We can't be on the throne of our own heart, God cannot heal us when this is happening. We can't walk around unaware of our own selfishness and prideful ways. The Word of God is true, but when we live in a constant state of protecting ourselves from pain, the lies begin to move faster than the truth does. Truth and patience heals!

Pastor Sergio continues this series talking to us about how our Pastors(Shepherds)give us gifts. We have to understand the value of our Shepherd! If you're at church just because you like people that's fine, but the true gift is the gift of a Shepherd. Our Shepherd tells us what it means to be a good Shepherd. Our Shepherd equips us for the work of the ministry and equips us to help in the edifying of the body of Christ. We have to mature as believers in order to grow and see spiritual inheritance in our lives! Our Shepherds cast the vision of God and brings it all together in unity. Unity blesses God!
