Embracing Favor

College Wesleyan Church Sermons

Sermon Summary Nathan Metz: What does it mean to be ‘favored’ by God? It’s not a reward. It can’t be withheld. Favor is not a commodity, it’s a relational posture. The ultimate expression of God’s favor is Christ’s filling, the incarnation. Mary was favored and filled so that we may now be favored and filled. How? Faith. The filling of Christ in Mary and in us is a theological mystery. We respond in faith by accepting His favor and magnifying Him. *Nathan Metz and his wife Jade and their children are members of College Wesleyan. Nathan is an ordained Wesleyan who has served as a pastor and a missionary. A graduate of Wesley Seminary, Nathan is now the Director of Chaplaincy and Leadership Development with TLC Management.
