God's Biggest Ask.
You're never as alone as it feels — God has been covering you since before you knew His name, and He's still choosing you now.
Pastor L. Blake opened with an unusual story — a Danish horse named Hugan and his trainer Brent Banderup, masterclass partners in dressage. The point wasn't the horse. It was the partnership: the trust, the alignment, the way one honored the other. That, he said, is what God has been after with us since Eden.
Three movements anchored the message. With God, we have and are everything — Genesis 1 declared creation "very good" before any of us earned it. God ensures we are always covered — when Adam and Eve fell, God Himself made coats of skin (Genesis 3:21), foreshadowing the Lamb that would be slain. God is choosing you right now — not because of your strength or readiness, but because that is the nature of the God we serve.
He landed on King Agrippa's reply to Paul: "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian" (Acts 26:28). Almost isn't enough. God's biggest ask isn't perfection or performance — it's that you'd stop standing at the door and step in, into a love that has been with you since before the foundation of the world.
