Building Margins in a Maxed-Out Life | Pastor Bill Scheer

Conflict on the outside, fear on the inside — nevertheless, God.

Pastor Bill Scheer opens Psalm 119:130 and 2 Corinthians 7:5 to unpack how God meets us in the middle of pressure — not by removing the fight, but by sending the right person into it. Bill walks through building margins in a maxed-out life, staying coachable, and why isolation (especially the kind our phones enable) is one of the enemy's most effective tools. The message lands on a simple, practical call: come back, get on a team, and find your Titus.

Message Notes

Psalm 119:130

The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. 

• Am I coachable?

2 Corinthians 7

5 For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 6 Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus.

• Outside - conflicts.

• Inside - fears.

• Nevertheless God…

• Titus showed up

2 Corinthians 4

8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed

• Pressure never gets the last word.

• Conflict - troubled on every side

• Condition - inside were fears

• Comfort - nevertheless God

• Faith doesn’t mean you’ll never face conflict.

• Faith means conflict doesn’t determine your outcome.

• You may have fights on the outside and fears trying to get inside - but there is always a Nevertheless God.

Acts 4:23

And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
