Do Something Great

IMG_6420

Heard a great message at church recently. The emphasis behind it was what you see in the picture above.

So many times, we as people say we’ll get around to giving what we have to God – time/talent/treasure – when we have more of it. But, we need to get away from that mentality.

God says, take what you have now and do something great with it!

Don’t have time to do things for God? Make time. He will make it worth your while, I promise.

Feel like you don’t have much to offer God when it comes to your talents? He thinks otherwise. You’ve been blessed uniquely with ways to give of yourself that are important and needed.

Going to give money to the church or something for God’s purpose only once you have enough money? Why not give now? He will multiply what you give.

Rick Warren explains it pretty well, here:

“If you keep a seed in a sack, it does no good, but if you plant it, it multiplies. For example, when you plant just one watermelon seed, you get a bunch of watermelons with hundreds of seeds in them. In the same way, God multiplies whatever you give him.”

So, don’t wait. You can make a big impact and do something great, no matter where you are in life right now!

No Matter How it Looks

No Matter How it Looks

Your pain has a purpose.

Your confusion will have a conclusion.

Your stress will turn into success.

Just a quick note to encourage anyone who might need it.

God’s timing is always perfect. No matter how it looks right now, good things are coming your way!

Have a great day, friends.

Approval

‘People may not approve of you. Don’t worry about it. God approves of you. People don’t determine your destiny. People can’t stop God’s plan for your life. God called you. God equipped you. God anointed you.’
-Joel Osteen

Approval

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

You are beautiful to the God who created you and you have a purpose to fulfill, no matter what others might have to say about it.

Your approval comes every day from the One who made you exactly the way you are and you were made to do great things, so know where your value lies and never lose sight of that.

Have a great day!

I trust that you will find what you’re looking for. If you can’t find any of those after listening to the sermons on this page, please let me know.

Meanwhile if you live in or near Peoria, Illinois I encourage you to join us at Riverside Community Church this Sunday. If you don’t, I still encourage you to enjoy one or several of the sermons online and check back for more in the future.

Every time I set foot inside this church I am thankful to be there. The messages I have heard at Riverside have truly changed my life.

Hopefully the words spoken in these messages will bless you as much as they have blessed me 🙂
