Bobby McDonald - Fading To The Background So Jesus Can Be Preeminent
Summary
The central message is that Christians must intentionally fade into the background so that Jesus Christ can remain preeminent in all areas of life. Drawing an analogy to photography, the speaker argues that when Jesus is the clear focus, everything else becomes secondary or blurry. Practically, this requires obedience, as Jesus modeled by humbling himself to the lowest place, and it means prioritizing God's will over personal desires, even in family conflicts. The goal is for the church and our homes to reflect Jesus's glory, not our own achievements.

Bobby McDonald - God's Presence And Our Will
Bobby McDonald · Aug 23, 2015
The central message is that to experience God's presence, one must surrender their own will and ambitions, mirroring Jesus' life. The speaker draws parallels from Jesus' time in the temple and his quiet moments with God to illustrate that true closeness to God requires focusing solely on Him. Ultimately, the speaker equates the 'veil' separating humanity from God's presence with our own will, suggesting that crucifying our will is the way to enter into God's presence.
