The River

- We can cheer on God to move in our lives.

- Are you cheering on your friends and family?

- Four parts: Rejoice, gentleness, be anxious for nothing, the peace of God.

Pastor Kevin Burns

-Don't let your blessings become idols

-Joy, only moments that God can fulfill

-We see Moses and Abraham contending for something. What are you contending with God for?

Pastor Kevin Burns

-Joy is the fruit that the enemy attacks in the process of believing to receiving.

-The enemy wants to rob us of our faith. Time is the biggest detriment of faith. Then enemy wants us to give up.

-Be joyous in your season of waiting

-Practicing gratitude 15 mins a day, five days a week for six weeks has many health benefits

-If I hang my happiness on anything in this world I will be left disappointed

-The Lord God is eternal because He NEVER changes, He is consistent and reliable. He will NOT let you down

-You can try to cover yourself up with leaves (your career, accomplishments, bank account. Etc), nothing is hidden from God. Hey 4:13

-We don't show up feeling significant. God equips us when we show up.

-God sees you and is thrilled to find you

-Faith is an action.Your faith needs legs

-Faith is not just waiting for "it" to happen. We have to be willing to take the next step.

-He provides for each day while we are making the next step.

There's two sides to your Faith coin:

1. How to hear from God.

2. How to receive from God.

Our grip on God is our Faith.

His grip on us is His Grace.

-He is faithful to His word

-He is faithful to His promises

-Diring the hard times is the perfect time to have faith in God

-Success does not equal significance

-Significance is what we leave behind. God does not see success, He sees significance.

-We cannot qualify ourselves. We cannot step into our calling until we are called.
