Many of us walk around with blinders on to what God is doing both in our lives and in this world. His desire is for us to see the world, people, ourselves the way that He does.

When our eyes are opened to His ways, it simply changes EVERYTHING.

When was the last time you looked for an opportunity to go fishing? When was the last time you were a witness for Jesus. You see the church is the change that the world has been waiting for. But in order for us to make a difference we've got to be willing to become Comfortably Uncomfortable. And we've got to decide that we're going to get in the game and start fishing. Jesus said, Come, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

The church is the change that this world has been waiting. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But understand, that change starts with you and it starts with me. Are you excelling in the grace of giving? Are you known as a Cheerful Giver? Are you known for putting God on the throne of your life?

Our goal as a church is to invest as much as we can in eternity to increase His kingdom, and we decide that we're going to rise up and reach out and do everything we possibly can to shine the light of Jesus Christ to a world that desperately needs change, that's when God steps in and does something supernatural. We are the change that this world has been waiting for. And when we take that step of faith and experience change in our own lives and we decide that we're going to focus on storing up treasures in heaven, that's when God will step in and bring about real change, not only in our lives but in the world around us.

As a country it's time for us to get back to the basics and say, "In God We Trust". And that's what the next few weeks are all about. God change us, give us a new perspective, give us a new plan, give us a new priority, so that in this time of crisis, in this time of uncertainty, we can become the real change agent that this world so desperately needs.

The Bible says we are the change. Never forget that we are the salt of the earth; we are the light of the world. And real change starts with you and it starts with me.

If you’ll put on the spiritual hat, a develop a vibrant relationship with God, if you’ll put on the marriage hat and develop a vibrant relationship with your husband, and then put on the parent hat and decide that your main goal as a mother is to dedicate your children back to God, then and only then will you become successful when it comes to the mother’s load, then and only then will you be able to say, because of God, I’ve truly hit the mother load.

There are so many distractions in our lives that it can be difficult to focus on what matters most. Often those distractions start off as simple things and morph into more complex things. What we learn from this weeks message is that we need to rid them out of our lives.

Each day as we follow Christ we are faced with a choice, to follow Him, or our own selfish desires. Much like the Kings of the Old Testament, we often tempted to choose the wrong thing. The question we have to answer is “who is the King of our hearts?"
