QUESTION: Would It change your community for Christ?

24 though he may stumble, he will not fall.

The same grace that saved me is the same grace that changed me.
— Craig Groeschel

1 Corinthians 15:10

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect.
No, I worked harder than all
of them — yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

PRINCIPLE: Real change is not behavior modification but transformation.

Ephesians 3:20

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.


What If you said yes to god?

1. Yes, to God's

2 Corinthians 1:20

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ.

And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God.

2. Yes, to God's

PRINCIPLE: Your precedes your purpose.

Psalm 37:23–24

23 The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;

24 though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

PRINCIPLE: You are for using what He has given you to fulfill what He has called you to.

If God has trusted you with something, it’s because He has a reason for it. There is a purpose for your position.

Isaiah 6:8 (ESV)

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?

And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me’!

3. Yes, to God's through you

PRINCIPLE: Yes, to God’s power may be stretching, but it’s always shaping us for growth.

God wants to do the extraordinary in and through you, but He won’t force it. He’s waiting for you to trust Him enough to say yes. When you do, you’ll find that His power is more than enough. He can move mountains, open doors, and transform live — starting with yours.
— Ed Newton

Psalm 37:39–40

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;  he is their stronghold in time of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

What is God asking you to say yes to today?

How could that “yes” change your life, your family, or your community?

People won’t always understand your “YES” to God, but they did not call you… He did!
