You are chosen. Your background, age, nationality, or income does not disqualify you from serving God. He can work through you right where you are. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 “There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.” A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. Get up and serve God with a big vision, bold faith, and brave action! Watch my sermon “BIG, BOLD, AND BRAVE”. Just click this link to view my sermon on YouTube now:youtu.be/lsWC0kLR5bs

Are you facing a lot of trouble or opposition today? You may feel inadequate or insecure. You may look at your past and think of all the times you’ve tried and failed. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲. Don’t let fear hold you back any longer. Let this be the last day you ever sit on the sideline because of fear, or insecurity, or failure. 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫. 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is doing the right thing even when you're afraid. Maybe you are facing opposition. People may doubt you. Perhaps you’ve tried before and failed. Like Nehemiah, you may feel inadequate for what lies ahead. But your past does not have to decide your next step. God is ready to help you move forward today. Take the step you have been putting off. Start the work. Trust Him as you go. Never let fear keep you from doing God’s will! He has called you to change the world. Watch my sermon “BIG, BOLD, AND BRAVE”.

𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥. That's what the Bible teaches us in Romans 4:18–21: “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed, and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead.” Abraham faced the facts without weakening in his faith – and we must follow his example. We can acknowledge the pain in our lives, the needs in our churches, and the challenges facing our nation while still believing God for change. 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞. Face the facts. Pray about it. Trust God as you take the next step. 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 “𝐁𝐈𝐆, 𝐁𝐎𝐋𝐃, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄.” 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.

How much does God love you? Look at the cross. See His true love — agape love, Agape love is more than words or feelings. It gives. It sacrifices. It pays a price for the one it loves. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). Then He stretched out His hands and gave His life for us. When you question whether God loves you, remember the cross. Jesus has already shown you how much He loves you. Watch my sermon “THE IMPACT OF AGAPE LOVE”.
