2 - 10 - 2013 Sermon Notes

Sharing my notes from Church on Sunday 2 – 10- 2013 from my Pastor’s Sermon. .......................................... Stepping Into Your Dreams – Sermon Title .............................................................................. Sermon Scripture – Joshua 4:4 – 8 ..................................................................................... Sometimes our dreams become a reality — but we have to step by faith. ................................................. There is a Jordan River you have to cross. ............................................................................ Sometimes Jordan River is not easy to cross. .......................................................................... You have to step out sometimes. ....................................................................................... God has something bigger for you. ..................................................................................... Some people have a tendency to back up instead of stepping out on faith. .............................................. There is much growth that I need. ..................................................................................... There is a growth process that we are going to need to cross. ......................................................... You have a bright future. ............................................................................................. We have to break generational curses. ................................................................................. God has a way of dismissing generational curses. ...................................................................... Examples of people who would not give up: ............................................................................. Henry Ford – went bankrupt five times ................................................................................. Walt Disney – went bankrupt .......................................................................................... Beethoven – was deaf .................................................................................................. You must be persistent, try and try again. ............................................................................ Everybody has to cross the River Jordan. .............................................................................. It was time for Israel to cross the Jordan River. .................................................................... Step out on faith on the ministry of God. ............................................................................. Keep your eyes on God. ................................................................................................ Joshua 4:1-4 they waited for three days; it had been a long forty years. .............................................. Moses got to the edge of the river and never crossed. ................................................................. The Ark of the Covenant represents God. ............................................................................... God is up to something. ............................................................................................... Sometimes God grabs us and takes us out of our comfort zone. .......................................................... Joshua had to step up, for Moses was gone (deceased). ................................................................. You have to follow God in order to get into Canaan. ................................................................... The cattle on a 1000 (thousand) hills belong to HIM, all the silver and the gold belong to HIM. ....................... Sit and wait on directions. ........................................................................................... Follow the Ark and keep your eye/mind on God. ......................................................................... If you have to work for what you get – it has more meaning to its value. ............................................. When you’re saved you don’t sit down – you have to work out your Salvation. .......................................... I know how I’ve made it – I trusted in God. .......................................................................... When you step out on faith – God will guide you. ...................................................................... You may not get your blessing right now – but “Stay on the Battlefield.” .............................................. To get prepared you have to listen to God’s instructions. ............................................................. Nothing will happen to you – step off the river bank. ................................................................. You’re going to have some Jordans. ................................................................................... Without faith it is impossible to please God. ......................................................................... My God won’t send me anywhere without making a way. ................................................................... God loves us. ......................................................................................................... God has a bigger job for us to do now. ................................................................................ God is still here and still in the blessing business. ................................................................. God has all power in HIS hand. ........................................................................................ We’re not telling our children what God is/has done in our lives – this is the problem. .............................. Tell your children how you stepped out on faith. ...................................................................... God is not through with me yet. ....................................................................................... I’m going to see the man name Jesus one day. .......................................................................... End of my notes for 2-10-2013
