Jeremy Utley - Two Questions That Changed My Life
Summary
The speaker shares two life-changing questions, focusing on the profound impact of asking, "What do you think God thinks of you?" He emphasizes that even with a good upbringing and knowledge of scripture, one can become discouraged or lose sight of God's kindness. The central message is to remain watchful and continually view God through the lens of His sweetness, mercy, and grace, rather than allowing our own expectations or perceived failures to create a hardened view of Him.

Jeremy Utley - Continue Beholding God's Kindness
Jeremy Utley · Jan 27, 2021
The central message is the necessity of continuously beholding God's kindness, rather than focusing only on His severity or judgment. The speaker contrasts the outcomes of Judas (who saw God as a hard master) and Peter (who saw the look of love) after their respective failures. He urges the audience to emulate the gardener in the parable, choosing to give grace and another year of nurturing rather than immediate judgment, applying this to relationships with backsliders and family.
