Jody McCoy’s sermon on “The Benevolence of God” started out comparing value systems that we use in our lives and ended up with a testimony of the way God can move in our lives if we let Him. In between Jody elaborated on the way we make decisions and the way we ought to make them as Christians. His testimony related his experiences on a trip to and from Denver and Austin and how God provided many things including a discussion about creation with his seatmates on the return flight. He thought that to be extremely relevant since he is writing a book on creation.

Jody attends a COG7 church in Austin, TX where he lives and he preaches by request in Conroe from time to time.
Thank you, Jody, for that profound word from the Lord. I think that if we could foresee the bondage and slavery that results when we don’t seek God’s will for our lives, we would surely seek Him with all of our heart. I love your advice about letting Jesus drive the ship! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Blessings,
Jennifer
Jody,
Thank you for your words of comfort, Jody. To know that we have choices that we must make, is both a blessing and a responsibility. As you stated, some choices (such as chocolate) don’t have life-altering consequences, but some of the spiritual choices have eternal endings. Your Testimony was a blessing. God sends us special blessings all the time, and we call them coincidences. God is so patient with us. . . His children. Thank you again, Jody, for your sermon and for being here to celebrate Kathy’s and Dennis’s birthdays. We do appreciate your making time for family celebrations. What a blessing!

Thanks Jennifer, Mom. Encouragement is a great ministry and I’m thankful for both of yours.
