Nathan reminded us that although God’s word is powerful, if we are not careful, we can treat His Word like a bandaid for a broken leg! When we let our sins, fears, and stresses fester, they start to build up and multiply, and shame and discomfort begins to grow as a result. We must remember that trusting in the Lord does not mean avoiding our issues and hoping everything works out. We need to develop a Matador Mindset that means facing our fears, staying structured, and finding peace in the process.

Pastor Luke reminded us that as believers, no matter what you are facing, it’s too early to give up! The life of Moses began with a comeback at the burning bush, and on that day, God got a hold of his life and everything changed. God’s presence changes things, and He takes the ordinary and mundane and makes it miraculous. We must remember that it is not our ability to do something that counts us as worth, but our availability to God to be used by Him.

Pastor Emma reminded us that as believers, although we have full access to the Holy Spirit, we will still have trials. We will go through seasons where is feels as if Jesus is allowing things to die in our lives and showing up when it is too late. We must let go of the desire to control every aspect of our lives and hold on to the hope that Jesus is in complete control. He shows up on His own time, and that time is always the right time.

Pastor Emma shared about seeing what we have in our hands now, rather than waiting for God do to something in our future. God wants us to use what we have now to see life change. The greater dissatisfaction we have for the present, the less able we are to see what we do have right now. Don’t delay because of comparison, insecurity, or underestimating our circumstance.
