- WE COME BACK TO OUR “REAL” SELF
- WE TRY FIXING THE FAULT IN OUR OWN STRENGTH
- THE SHAME WAVE
- THE DROP OUT

NO MISTAKE IS TOO BIG FOR THE GRACE OF GOD

BIG IDEA: What we put in the ground TODAY determines what we get out of it TOMORROW

- Let us not become WEARY in doing GOOD
- There is a PROPER time for HARVEST
- We will REAP a HARVEST

BIG IDEA: CHURCH IS NOT AN EVENT WE ATTEND, BUT A COMMUNITY WE BELONG TO.

- ISOLATION MAY BE CLEAN, BUT IT’S ALSO LONELY
- COMMUNITY IS MESSY, BUT IT’S ALSO REWARDING
- DAVID AND JONATHAN ENJOYED SPIRITUAL COMPANIONSHIP
- MOSES AND AARON ENJOYED SPIRITUAL PARTNERSHIP
- ELIJAH AND ELISHA EXPERIENCED SPIRITUAL MENTORSHIP

BIG IDEA: We need to pivot from SURVIVAL to SERVING

- God’s purpose is not HALTED by HARDSHIP
- Serving Gods PURPOSE means serving Gods PEOPLE
- The higher the PURPOSE, the greater the SACRIFICE

BIG IDEA: The FURTHER we go in God, the DEEPER we should be in Him
 
- The river of God brings LIFE wherever it goes
- God isn’t discovered all at once but at various DEGREES
- The river of God causes perpetual PRODUCTIVITY
 
BRING IT HOME: It’s safe in the shallows, but we were made for MORE

BIG IDEA: What we sow into our relationship with God TODAY determines what we harvest in the FUTURE

BIG IDEA: There is a MANDATE for a HOLY ENDURANCE to rise up in God's people

- Endurance is forged in the fires of ADVERSITY
- Endurance is ANCHORED in God's PROMISES
- Holy endurance leads to eventual ENJOYMENT

BIG IDEA: God is a WAY MAKER. He can turn ANY situation for GOOD. HE can REDEEM and rescue ANYTHING.

- What you see as IMPOSSIBLE, God can make POSSIBLE
- God will MAKE A WAY where we see NO WAY

- God will make a way THROUGH
- God will make a way TO
- The PROMISES of God will become our TESTIMONY

- The Test of Sacrifice
- The Pain in Sacrifice
- The Providential Sacrifice

BIG IDEA: A crisis of ISOLATION can give birth to a new opportunity for DEEPER CONNECTION

- The great SCATTERING turned into a great GATHERING
- We are responsible FOR each other; and we are responsible TO each other
- The Church is on a MISSION

God's heart for the body of Christ: That ALL members have EQUAL concern for one another:
1. Find ways to CONNECT in a deeper way, RELATIONALLY
2. Serve SACRIFICIALLY
