Everybody wants to have the perfect life the perfect family, the perfect career and the perfect home. For those of us who dont have everything just the way we want, were sometimes tempted to pretend that our lives are more perfect than they really are. However, it may be in honestly admitting that our story is not one of perfection that we make space for God to work in our lives and in our relationships. In this sermon, the story of a broken cookie jar may have something to teach us about how God steps into the lives of broken people and makes them whole.
