Sermon Moments
“One gives freely yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give and only suffers want.”
“God said, "Stay your hand. Hold up. I ain't done yet. I still got more miracles to perform. I still got more ways to make."”
“Don't you quit yet. Victory is on the way. Don't you throw in the towel.”
“Today, I need y'all to give to somebody else by praying for them, because they are battling something they haven't told you about.”
“Lay hands on yourself and say, "God touch me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet."”
“Help me God to lay aside every weight, every sin that trips me up, and help me God to forgive the folks that did me wrong.”
“I came in here one way, but I'm leaving out of here a better way, because I laid down all the stress, all the worry, all the pain.”
This Week
Remember This
God invites us to develop a generous heart by giving through intercessory prayer and trusting Him to perform miracles while exchanging our stress for His peace.
A Challenge for You
I laid down all the stress, all the worry, all the pain that I carried in the door, and I'm leaving out of here with peace of mind, with joy in my heart, with a dance in my feet, and a praise on my lips because I know God is going to do it.These are personal sermon notes shared to help you remember the message — not a replacement for Scripture, your church, or your pastors.
