God's Unbreakable Hold: Overcoming Through Christ's Love

Pastor Darren Gerald

September 28, 2025

This sermon explores the unshakeable nature of God's love and His commitment to holding onto believers through life's challenges. The pastor emphasizes that it's not our ability to hold onto God, but God's power to hold onto us that ensures our salvation. He discusses how God uses trials and difficulties to conform believers to the image of Christ, highlighting that even negative experiences work together for the good of those who love God.

Key Points:
- God's ability to hold onto us is stronger than our ability to hold onto Him
- Trials and difficulties are used by God to conform us to Christ's image
- The church is called to follow Christ's example of sacrificial love, not worldly power
- God's purpose is to reconcile everything to Himself through Christ
- Trouble can purify motives, sanctify ambition, and strengthen resolve in believers
- God is in control and will finish the work He started in believers' lives
