Sermon Notes
It’s easy to get so comfortable in the place God has taken you. But you must go beyond where you’re comfortable. Go a little further than you’ve ever gone before!
Key Scriptures:
Mark 14:32-36; Luke 22:40-42; Mark 6:48-51; Mark 10:46-48; Luke 19:1-5; Luke 24:13-16; Luke 24:28-32; Luke 17:14-19; Ruth 1:14-17; Ruth 2:3; Esther 4:13-16; Esther 5:3-8
Key Points:
- The Lord will test you. Sometimes, God will ask you to go just a little further to see if you desire to reach past where you’ve already been. You never know what God might be doing just a stone’s throw away. Don’t ever think you have arrived. You could be one hallelujah away from a miracle.
- Go further than you’ve ever gone before. Go further in your giving, worship, devotion, and praise. Don’t settle for being normal or average. Spiritual comfort can be your place of destruction. You can be in the place of prayer and worship, and never actually pray or worship. Don’t stop short of your breakthrough; go a little further!
- If you go further than you’ve ever gone, you’ll get more than you’ve ever had. It may not happen all at once, but if you go a little further and obey what God said, you’ll get a miracle. When you go a little further and thank God for all He has done, you won’t just get healing, but wholeness.
- God releases blessings when you’re married to Him. When you’re married to God, you cleave to Him, you’re in a covenant with Him, and you stay with Him no matter what He takes you through. When you cleave to Him, even in suffering, God releases His blessings into your life.
- Material things can’t take care of what you need. You need the authority and power only God can give you. When you get the King, you don’t get half the kingdom, you get the whole thing!
Final Thoughts:
The world can’t give you what you need; you need the King! And when you seek first the Kingdom of God, everything else will be added to you. When you go a little further instead of settling, God will give you more than you ever asked for. Go a little further in your prayer, devotion, and worship, and receive a miracle.
