Sermon Notes : The Season to Succeed

• The stuff that really matters is hard to measure.
• Reclaim the Biblical concept of blessing
• psalm 1:1-3
• To be successful and miserable is not a blessing.
• success is relative to who, what, when, where
• Jesus did not settle on the surface meaning of success.
• Some of us are doing things to get attention from people who aren’t even paying attention.
• we attach cultural definitions to biblical terms
• difference between being well known and widely known, fruitful and famous.
• Jesus would have been a failure based on our standards today
• at the moment of a seeds greatest potential is when it’s broken and hidden
• Luke 17:20
• only God can “get” you because you are dysfunctional
• the kingdom of God is within you
• the strategy of the enemy is get you to hate your here
• you can only bear your own fruit
• our temptation is to look at others and want to bear their fruit
• God has wired all of us individually
• yield your fruit – do your thing – make your mark 
• I might not be famous,  but I’m going to be fruitful
• we don’t produce anything because we don’t get planted anywhere
• being consistent isn’t sexy
• are you going to chase clout, or are you going to embrace calling?
• bear your fruit in season.
• if you judge it in the process of doing it, you interrupt the power of it.
• look at what the faithfulness of Jesus has created.
• when we produce something over here, it causes us to feel horrible about what is happening over there.
• you are only responsible to produce what is in you right here, right now.
• I will not quit on the gift god gave me because I do not see it in a sensational form.
