Abigail Van Buren
You gave your heart. You gave your time. You gave your best.
And they used it. Took it. Left you empty.
But God says: You’re not disposable. You’re not replaceable. And you’re not done.
Joseph was used—but he was still chosen. David was overlooked—but the oil still found him.
What people took from you didn’t cancel what God put in you!
� Join us for Day 1 of this life-shifting series:
“Left with Nothing… But God”
Today’s message: “Used… But Not Useless”
Scars That Still Speak” — Some wounds healed, but the memory still talks. This Sunday, discover how your scars aren't signs of shame—they’re stories of survival. 💥 What tried to break you didn’t bury you… it built you.
You were taken advantage of… but not taken out.
Used by people—but still covered by God.
Join us for a powerful word: "Taken Advantage of but Still Covered"
Because what they did didn’t cancel what God promised!
Sometimes life leaves you drained, broken, and empty… but don’t confuse emptiness with abandonment. God never left your side.
Join us for a powerful word of hope, healing, and divine presence. You may feel empty—but you are not alone.
When life strips you of everything—God’s calling still stands!
You may feel empty, broken, overlooked…
But heaven still says you’re chosen.
Join us as we declare: I may have nothing left… but I still have purpose!
Our words can bind people up in lies that were never meant to define them. Thankfully, Jesus can set us free. He breaks chains and destroys lies that have been spoken into and over us (by others or by ourselves). But the point is that we can unintentionally be someone who puts another in a cage with our words.
DYNAMIC PREACHING
AWESOME PRAISE AND WORSHIP
