May
God Has a Plan - Grace for the Broken and Chosen

In this heartfelt May sermon, Minister Douglas McCrory of Spirit of the Light Church delivers a moving message of restoration, purpose, and divine grace. Inspired by the image of a broken vessel shining with inner light, he reminds us that God’s plan has always included imperfect people—people like Adam, Eve, Cain, Abraham, and us.

From the fall in Eden to the promises made to Abraham, God’s pattern has remained the same: redemption through grace, not human strength. This message is a call to trust that even when we fall short, God's plan never fails. He makes us whole, not with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18–19).

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 5:19–21, 1 Peter 1:18–19, Genesis 4, Matthew 26, Revelation 21
