SERMON: Moving from Why to What

SCRIPTURE: James 1: 2-8 (MSG version)

What happens when you hang out at the WHY

We wallow in the "why." We stay here too long

Say WHAT Slide Consider… Think about it and be drawn to something

God is getting you ready There is a reason for your season

Boiling water kills or inactivates viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and other pathogens by using heat to damage structural components and disrupt essential life processes

There is no “if” trials. Trials will come

God wants to HELP God is your ride or die God will stay right there with you and help you grow.

Joshua 1:9 “Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God your God, is with you every step of the way.” (MSG)

Isaiah 41:10 Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.” (MSG)

Matthew 28:20 Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” (MSG)

Even if your circumstances aren’t good, you can trust God’s purpose is

Consider…WHAT Ready…for WHAT Help…with WHAT Purpose…is WHAT
