Faith Time: A big God handling big problems Part II
SUMMARY: In this edition of “Faith Time,” Taine Benson from Friendship Missionary Baptist Church discusses the concept of a big God addressing significant problems. He compares God’s unseen influence to those working behind the scenes in a movie. Benson emphasizes that while people may see our achievements, it is God facilitating them. To participate in God’s solutions, he suggests starting with simple acts of kindness. Trusting God with big issues can be challenging due to a desire for control; however, true guidance comes through prayer and dependence on God. Ultimately, seeking God leads to a purposeful life.
