The-Capacity-Challenge-Sermon-Highlights

I want to talk to you today about the capacity challenge.

The challenge for me is knowing what my capacity really is.

How do I know what my capacity is if I

never challenge it? How do I know what I'm capable of?

If I never get beyond what I'm comfortable with? What

have you convinced yourself that you can't do that? Really

you won't do. What I have found out about church people,

and I've been working with them a long time, is

when they come to your church. They come and they

say that they want to be changed, but often they

don't want to be challenged. Guess what, no challenge, no change.

How about if I help you see that there is

something in you that you have convinced yourself is beyond

you and to do it? Use an example of the

church in Macedonia. It says they gave according to their

means and beyond their means. That's interesting to me that

it started out with them giving what they could and

resulted in them giving what they couldn't. Paul said, the

Macedonian Church couldn't and they did, and when they did,

they could. So what faith does? Faith flips the script?

You say I would if I could faith says you

could if you would. I came to challenge all of

the complacent people. Where you started does not have to

be where you stay. God wants to do in miserably

more than you ask or imagine, but it has to

start somewhere, and we always want to wait until we

have everything to do it. And sometimes you just gotta

step out and see. Could it be that you're not stuck,

but you have stopped. Could it be that God has

more in store for you, but you won't see it

because you won't step into it. And it's time to

look at some of the limitations in our life and

declare to the limitations you can't hold me any longer.

I intend to grow beyond in accordance with the promise

that God has made for me.
