By Choice Not By Chance

Pastor Neil emphasizes that our choices, not our circumstances, determine the trajectory of our lives. Through the power of choice, we can select life over death, blessing over curse, and God's will over our own desires. He then challenges believers to recognize that while we cannot control what happens to us, we always control how we respond. Every choice—from forgiving someone to showing up at church despite the rain—writes the story of our lives and brings us closer to or further from God's abundant life.
