BIG IDEA
You have today.
MESSAGE NOTES:
WHAT:
Often we get caught in the lie of comparison and feel like if only we had (fill in the blank).
We want to help you focus less on what you think you don't have so you can better see what you already have.
SO WHAT:
Sometimes we focus on the past or future instead of the present.
Moses didn't feel equipped to do what God was asking him to do. But do you see what God asks? "What's in your hand?"
Maybe you already have all that you need.
NOW WHAT:
What God is asking you to do today. Maybe God is inviting you to . . .
Know and follow Jesus for the first time.
Be obedient.
Make a change in your life.
Take a stand.
Show someone love.
But sometimes, before we need to hear God tell us what to do, we need to hear God tell us who we are.
Do you believe that you are loved?
You can do something for God and for others with the tools you've already been given.
You have today, and your today is valuable. So what will you do with it?
