Sermon Notes : Never Stop Knocking
- Happy 16th Birthday, Elevation Church! We have been so blessed by Pastor Steven, and Pastor Holly and are truly grateful for this ministry.
- Acts 12:1-16
- Get dressed for what’s next.
- What kind of power was in Peter?
- What kind of power is in YOU?
- Faith is the ability sometimes to lay down and sleep and let faith answer the questions.
- God doesn’t answer by removing the cup of suffering, but gave Jesus the strength to endure.
- If Jesus is seated, I can sleep.
- Persistence.
- We worry out loud and call it prayer.
- Our faith deteriorates when our expectations are not met.
- In the absence of answers either cynicism or faith will grow.
- Sometimes we just want someone to tell us what to do.
- Sometimes we’ve got to get on God’s nerves. Wrestle all night.
- Never stop believing that it can still happen.
- When you have been through it, don’t try to get God to explain it.
- Knock through the no when it really matters to you.
- God wants to hear your voice during worship.
- God wants to see me move.
- You won’t always know it’s God.
- Move Forward by faith without explanations.
- First Peter got up, and then the chains fell off.
- Don’t limit yourself through your comments. (I’m just not that type of person.)
- You don’t get free by asking more questions, but by taking action.
- We ask how, why and where.
- God is with me.
- Take a moment to notice what God has already done.
- Ephesians 3:20
- Exceedingly more is at the door right now.
- Never stop knocking!
- Whether it ends the way you didn’t want it to, or if you’ve got unanswered questions, never stop knocking.
Eric and I also love cake, so we used Elevation’s anniversary as a great excuse to eat some! ?
