Today was My Hope Sunday! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".
Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!
Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior!
