GO BIG(GER)
Are you ready to GO BIG?
1) All of Us Have a Part to Play
1 Peter 1:1-2
“1Peter, an apostle of Jesus
Christ, to God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2who have been chosen
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work
of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace
and peace be yours in abundance.”
1 Peter 4:10
”Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
administering God's grace in its various forms.”
.
2) God Uses Our
Weaknesses
1 Peter 1:13
“3Therefore, prepare your minds
for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given
you when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
* No matter what
weaknesses you have, God sill uses you to Go Big…if you let him
John 1:12
“Yet to all who received him,
to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—“
Dear
God, I want a real relationship with you. I realize that I have sinned and that
my sin is the reason I have been separated from you. I admit that I need you and I ask you to
forgive me. Jesus, I know that you died
for me and rose again, so I ask you into my life, as my leader. I accept the
forgiveness that you freely give. Thank you for dying for me. Help me now to live for you. Amen.
3) The
Small Things You Do Are a Part of Something Bigger
1 Corinthians 12:14-20
14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If
the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the
body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And
if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the
body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If
the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole
body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact
God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted
them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As
it is, there are many parts, but one body.
Going
Big is not just about how you can make your life better, it’s about being a
part of God’s plan and giving God glory by going big.
4) Going Big is Not a Destination,
It’s a Journey
2 Peter 1:8
“For if you
possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being
ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
