If you like a good spy movie, as I do, when you hear the word “agency” your mind likely goes to the CIA. If you live in an area like the 757 where there are lots of military and government employees then your mind likely goes to any number of “agencies” in the federal government. My hope though is that after tonight’s message, the next time you hear the world “agency” you will think of the Bible. The word “agency” speaks to the authority we have as people to make choices, to govern self, to act free from the coercion of others. And as you will hear in this message, agency is part of my Imago Dei and therefore deeply sacred. Are you being a good steward of your agency? Are you violating the agency of others? Do you know the thieves of agency according to Scripture? Are there agency myths that are operating in your life? And most importantly, have your exercised your agency to embrace the forgiveness that Jesus so freely gives? Remember, you and I are immortal, eternal beings, created by God to live and rule and reign with Him forever! And if you are part of our online family and we never get to meet this side of Heaven…I can’t wait to see you there!
