The Rock Church of Fenton Sermons

When we read things like Gideon defeating an entire army with 300 men or Moses confronting the Pharaoh to take God’s people back from slavery, we see these men as Hero’s and pretty much assume that God could never do something that big through us. This could not be farther from the truth!

God wants to use us, but so often just like Gideon and Moses, we make excuses why God can’t or won’t- our inabilities, our weakness, our fears, our past sin. But God wants us to begin to see ourselves the way he sees us- as valiant warriors, capable & bold mouthpieces, but only by the power given by the Holy Spirit to do all things. But in order to do this, we must begin to think about ourselves the way God does in all the small things of our life, so he can use us in big ways.

Sometimes we think that God has stopped speaking to us because we haven't heard him speak to us clearly like he did at summer camp, on a mission trip, or when we decided to receive His salvation.

Although God is always there with us, He also tests our faithfulness to him through all of the small moments in our life. Just like he did with Abraham, Noah, Gideon, and every one of us, he asks us to take a step in faith and then lets us go on our own to see if we will be faithful to him.

Like Jesus teaches us in Matthew 25, God left men with his “Talents” and then went away to see if those who had them would be faithful to what he had given them. When he returned to those who were faithful, he gave more and to those who were not, he removed what they had.

Be faithful to God in the SMALL THINGS and you will begin to see God move in your life.
