Jeremy Utley - Feeling Disheartened?
Summary
The central message is that Christians who feel disheartened or hopeless are often neglecting the foundational truth of God's boundless love. The speaker emphasizes that we must actively fight both 'low' and 'lofty' thoughts about God—such as believing He is too holy to approach—by remembering His compassion and pity. Drawing near to God requires diligently taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, making God's love the unwavering foundation of our lives.

Jeremy Utley - Rejoicing in weakness
Jeremy Utley · Oct 5, 2015
The central message is that our weakness is not a deficit but rather the necessary condition for God's power and glory to be displayed. Drawing from Paul's writings, the speaker emphasizes that when we are weak, we are actually strong in Christ, allowing us to rejoice in our limitations. True faith involves not just accepting this truth intellectually, but actively expecting and praising God for His strength to manifest even before we fully see the fulfillment of His promises.
