God Moves You by Force: When Hard Times Rearrange Your Life by Pastor Ron Meyer | LEADERSHIP MONDAY

Luke 2 is more than a Christmas reading. Pastor Ron Meyer shows how “taxing times” force us into God’s positioning. Bethlehem looked illogical. The manger looked like failure. Yet God was fulfilling prophecy, providing a Passover over hell, and sending provision before anyone saw it. This message calls leaders and disciples to drop self-reliance, embrace obedience, and walk by what is written—not by sight.
Scriptures referenced: Luke 2:1–7; Micah 5:2; Psalm 22; Psalm 42; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Isaiah 64:4 / 1 Corinthians 2:9; Matthew 2:13–23; Matthew 7:21–23; Hebrews 11:1.
