Collision Course with Destiny - Pastor Johnnie Simpson Jr.


In this powerful message, we're reminded of God's divine plan for each of our lives, as illustrated through the story of Jeremiah's calling. The scripture from Jeremiah 1:4-10 reveals how God knows us intimately, even before we're formed in the womb, and has a specific purpose for us. We're challenged to consider our own 'collision course with destiny' and how we might be resisting God's call. The message emphasizes that God doesn't necessarily call the qualified, but qualifies the called. This encourages us to step out in faith, even when we feel inadequate. The parallel drawn between Jeremiah's reluctance and our own hesitations in following God's will is both relatable and inspiring. We're urged to trust in God's protection and provision, just as He promised Jeremiah, 'Do not be afraid... for I am with you.' This timeless truth empowers us to face our fears and embrace our God-given destiny with confidence.
