Summary
Themes
Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.What do you want me to do? — True lordship requires predeciding that our answer to God's calling is always "yes."
- 2.What do you want me to give? — Acknowledging Jesus as Lord means surrendering complete authority over our personal resources and finances.
- 3.What do you want me to say? — Jesus calls every believer to be His witness simply by sharing their personal experience of what Christ has done.
- 4.God often asks believers to take steps that conflict with human logic, requiring us to trust Him with all our heart rather than leaning on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
- 5.When we yield our personal plans and resources to God, He is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask, think, or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
- 6.Personal testimonies and simple invitations are God's chosen way to draw people to encounter Jesus Christ.

This Week
Remember This
When we predecide that our answer to Jesus as Lord is always "yes," He uses our obedience, resources, and testimony to accomplish immeasurably more than we could ever dream possible.
A Challenge for You
"What if we could lock arms and go, God, the answer's yes. So, what do you want us to do? What do you want us to give? What do you want us to say? Send me. That's an army I'm telling you that God could change the world with."These are personal sermon notes shared to help you remember the message — not a replacement for Scripture, your church, or your pastors.
