Sermon Notes – Little By Little
- It’s not always how you start, but it’s always how you finish.
- How grateful are you to be a part of Elevation Church?
- Mark 8:22-26
- Once more…
- Growth is gradual.
- We need to measure growth so that we know we are growing.
- Part of our problem, is that when we think about faith, we only have one set of supernatural words to associate with it.
- This can cause us to be frustrated in our faith.
- We’ve got the wrong measuring stick.
- It’s all going too slow.
- I thought by now…(promoted, married, kids…)
- I’m growing gradually.
- Don’t be surprised when you ask God for miracles, if he answers you with gradual change.
- Not all miracles are immediate, but progressive.
- God uses people to bring people to Jesus.
- All of us have some person who helped us along our faith journey.
- Do you care more about titles or testimonies?
- Find a place that has healthy soil, and watch God turn a little into a lot.
- Thank God Jesus is not some regular rabbi – he came to touch the messiest, most broken and hidden areas of our lives and turn it into greatness. Whatever He touches, He transforms.
- Better to be blind and walking with Jesus than to be able to see and going alone.
- Some of the most intimate things God has done in my life have happened in solitude.
- There’s a difference between being around God and being alone with God.
- It’s easy to feel faith when you’re surrounded by others who are filled with faith – how do you feel when you are alone?
- Faith is about spiritual survival.
- Don’t compare your today to somebody else’s.
- What you see today is still in the beginning phases.
- Do you see anything? (Spiritual eyes)
- Vision gives pain purpose.
- Where you are headed is better than where you have been.
- Have you lost your vision, dream, calling, marriage, business, friends?
- You can get it back in Jesus.
- God is a restorer.
- A little bit of disobedience to God creates a foothold for the devil.
- You’re not waiting – God is restoring.
- Gradual miracles are no places for the masses.
I hope this sermon blessed you today. I had never heard of Pastor Rich before this and thought he was a very good speaker.
Have an incredible week! 💛
