Overcoming the Storms in Life - Mark's First Sermon!

I had the incredible honor to watch my husband not only prepare for a sermon but to also preach it at our church’s evening service, The Shift. As I said in the previous post, God has truly been stretching and shaping us into the people we need to be for the roles He has in mind for us. This was just another step in the journey!

Instead of matside (wrestling) I was "alter-side" watching my husband!

 

I honestly wasn’t nervous for him because I knew that if God set this up for him He wasn’t going to let him fail. Also watching the time he spent in prayer gave me confidence that whatever he said up there was straight from God, plus he has an incredible gift of public speaking as it is. But I remembered the heart pounding anticipation I felt for Girls Only night and I couldn’t imagine what it must’ve felt like for Mark as he prepared to speak in front of all ages of people in a legit service!

 

The real deal on the big screen - whoaaa!!

 

As expected God pulled through for him and it was amazing! You might think I’m biased (because I am ;) ), but you can actually listed to the sermon yourself from First Assembly's website here (works best with FireFox & is labeled "David Schuster - The Shift - 10.27.13"). It’s on how to get through the storms in your life - so if you’re going through a storm then give it a listen, we hope it blesses you!

 

Post-preach - so proud of my husband!

 

We would like to again extend our gratitude to you as Mark and I would not have these opportunities if you weren’t obedient in supporting us and praying for us! We love you so much and can’t wait to see you hopefully soon!
