3 Sermon Notes
I.
At every level of blessing, there will be a new boundary. God’s pattern is to bless you and then give you a boundary. This pattern requires us to recognize, respect, and remember the boundary, for with the blessing comes responsibility.
If we live without limits, we limit what God can do in our lives. Failing to embrace those limits can lead to a path of destruction. Boundaries are God's protection, see them as blessings.

Worship means to express God’s worth, but you cannot worship beyond your revelation of God’s worth. How much money would you pay to guarantee you woke up in the morning? Yet he did it for free. You get into the car and not even pray for travelers grace and arrival mercy, how much would you pay to guarantee you made it from point A to point B?
Your gratitude to God should be perpetual.

III.
You can hold on to your hope for as long as you can, but there may come a moment when holding on to your hope keeps God from introducing the hope of glory into your life. You have to be willing to do the hard work of releasing the hope of what you thought it would be, the hope of how you thought it should turn out, and the hope of what you wanted it to be, and trust that God can transform your hope into something that you never could have imagined. God says I can change it better than you can, but I need you to have that appetite for what God is hoping for over what you're hoping for.

I.
"You are saying stuff that does not match up with what God called you to be.
Death and life lie in the power of your tongue, so when we are asked to say something in church, it’s not for the pastor’s health; they ask us to say it because they’re crazy enough to believe that if your lips speak it, then your ears may mess around and hear it, your heart may mess around and believe it, and your life may mess around and become it.
So when you say, “I am blessed,” “I am walking in overflow,” “I am healthy,” and if you really believe your confession, your actions will match it." - Mike McClure

1 Question
With God, there's always a way. What are some areas in your life where the enemy has blocked you from trying?
Until next week,
A song on my 🤎
Bringing this song back because if you think about it, when you genuinely think about all that God has done for you — how can you not be grateful? As the lyrics say:
When I think about the Lord,
How He picked me up and turned me around,
How He placed my feet on solid ground
It makes me wanna shout,
Hallelujah,
Thank you Jesus,
Lord, your worthy, of all the glory, and all the honor, and all the praise
