My sermon notes from this morning
SpoilerSermon Notes 1-28-24
If you’re feeling weak, it’s a sign of strength to come.“If someone thinks I’m a lunatic, that’s fine with me, I probably am!” ~ DerrelHebrews 12:1“Let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily holds us back.”The key to finishing a good race is to simplify your life. Get rid of the baggage, eliminate the distractions, the time wasters that keep you from God’s best in your life.PHILIPPIANS 3:3-14"Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race."Remember the reward.When you feel like giving up, you remember these words. “My faith will be rewarded.”1 CORINTHIANS 925-26"To win the contest, you must deny yourself! many things that would keep you from doing your best. But we do it for a heavenly reward that never disappears. So I run straight to thegoal with purpose in every step. A heavenly reward, personally rewarded by God!”GALATIANS 6.9"Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up.”Resist all discouragement. Proactively move against it!You either get discouraged, or you procrastinate. That is from the enemy!GALATIANS 6.9"Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we wil reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up.”“If doing what was wrong was hard, nobody would ever do it!”When you plant a seed, do you get it back instantly?! No!! That’s not how it works in God’s kingdom! There is a delay between sowing and reaping. You just have to keep on doing what’s right, that’s faith.One of the greatest tests of faith is how do you handle delays? How do you handle setbacks?“Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.”“Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination.”PSALM 94:19"Lord, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer.”PHILIPPIANS 1:6"God, who began the good work within you, will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you s finished. What God starts in your ife, He finishes, and He's not through with you!”Renew myself daily. If you’re going to last over the long haul, you have to renew yourself daily.2 CORINTHIANS 4:16"This is why we never give up.Our spirits are being renewed every day?”God is not through with you, your race isn’t over yet!“You are never a failure until you quit.”1. What have you felt like giving up on? What dream? What goal?Whatever it is, don't give up.- What do you need to finish?
- What's holding you back? What has distracted you from God's best?
You need to get up, focus on the finish line, and start moving again.Ahhhh… don’t you just love it when your paying attention to the sermon, then you happen to look down and see your older brother playing with a can of butane in church…..
Anyway, it's a bit of a chaotic wreck, but, I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS YOUR SUNDAY!
