God Is Perfectly Crafting the Circumstances of My Life
Tim Conway
Timothy A. Conway (1978 - ). American pastor, Bible teacher, and evangelist born in Cleveland, Ohio. Converted in 1999 at 20 after a rebellious youth, he left a career in physical therapy to pursue ministry, studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary but completing his training informally through church mentorship. In 2004, he co-founded Grace Community Church in San Antonio, Texas, serving as lead pastor and growing it to emphasize expository preaching and biblical counseling. Conway joined I’ll Be Honest ministries in 2008, producing thousands of online sermons and videos, reaching millions globally with a focus on repentance, holiness, and true conversion. He authored articles but no major books, prioritizing free digital content. Married to Ruby since 2003, they have five children. His teaching, often addressing modern church complacency, draws from Puritan and Reformed influences like Paul Washer, with whom he partners. Conway’s words, “True faith costs everything, but it gains Christ,” encapsulate his call to radical discipleship. His global outreach, including missions in Mexico and India, continues to shape evangelical thought through conferences and media.

Sermon Summary
This sermon emphasizes the importance of trusting that God is orchestrating every circumstance in our lives for our ultimate good and growth in Christlikeness.

Sermon Transcription
Let us imitate John in his thinking that God is perfectly crafting the circumstances of my life. Notice again what he says. A person cannot receive even one thing unless it's given him from Heaven. Brethren, don't we have a tendency in our life to think God's forgotten us. God's passed over us. Look at this guy over here. I'm looking for a job before he was. And he gets one. I wanted to be married before they did. And they are and I'm not. I mean, we have this tendency to think, why am I in these circumstances? God's forgotten me. Lord, why have You forgotten me? But brethren, it really helps to know not even one thing is true in your life except God has designed into it. And you can be certain of this. You have the trying circumstances in your life that you have right now because it's the best thing for you to have. And God full well knows it. And a lot of times, brethren, you have the very thing that you have because it's the very thing that is necessary in your life to make you most like Christ. And without it, it would leave untouched the area of your life where you are least like Christ.
