Facing Giants

Pastor Shane's message stresses that familiarity with Jesus can cause us to miss out on what He is doing in our lives. He draws on Deuteronomy 8:18, reminding us that God is the true source of our blessings. The message urges us to reflect on the "giants" in our lives—both external obstacles and internal struggles, such as a rigid heart. Pastor Shane also points out that sometimes we become so focused on our "calling" that we lose sight of Jesus Himself. He emphasizes that our identity comes from God, not from our calling. The core of the message is about examining and refining the motives of our hearts, ensuring that we only do what God has instructed and address any opposition within us.
