Sermon Topics

Not only is David's vocation tied to individuals with disabilities, his heart is as well. Most people would join the disabled population and wonder why God allows these types of physical and cognitive challenges, along with many of the other hurdles faced throughout life. Christ answers this question by explaining in John 9:3 that disabilities are not a punishment for sin but are permitted so that the work of God might be displayed in one’s life. David believes this is a message that is pertinent to everyone.
