Scripture Text: 1 Peter 4:10-11 (ESV)

You Asked, He Answered, You Listen
1 Peter 4:10-11 (ESV)

God called all sort of “ordinary people” to do extraordinary things.

When you are following God’s will, you’re not on your own.

Everything we have, everything we do, it all exists to bring glory to God!

God is not a relic who did something once upon a time, but a loving, caring Father who is active in our daily lives.

Just simply asking doesn’t do any good if as soon as you ask, you stop paying attention and follow your own path.

We are called to follow God’s will. We don’t make decisions about how people will receive the message, we just deliver it and let God work.

2026-09-06: The Prayer of Jabez — Feel My Pain

Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins
Scripture Text: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (NKJV)

The Prayer of Jabez
Feel My Pain
1 Chronicles 4:9-10 (NKJV)

His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.”
(Jabez literally means “to cause pain” or “painful”).

Bringing pain into other people’s lives is a spiritual problem.

When Jesus established the Church, he gave one command and it was repeated throughout the New Testament: Love one another.

God wants us (Christians) to be sensitive to the pain we cause others because if we aren’t–then we can push others away from Christ and away from the God we say we love.

When you think about it that way, Jabez’ prayer: can take on a whole new meaning… “Keep me from evil God so that I won’t cause You pain.”
